There are arrivals to-day both from the East and West,
and on all hands we hear of the athices being considered satis-
factory. The substance of the West Indian news appears in
another part of The Sun, and we need only remark, that in
respect to agriculture they are very cheering. The East
Indian markets also give evidences of continued improvement
after their lengthened heaviness.
The Money business in the Stock Exchange has been
rather diminished by the closing of the transfer books. Con-
sols for the Opening have receded a shade, namely from 994
to 99 ex. dividend. The premium on Exchequer-bills has
advanced to 635. Bank Stock is at 211%.
A very limited amount of business has been transacted in
the Foreign Bonds to-day. The Four per Cent. Dutch Certi-
ficates are at 98% %; Colombian at 151,% 3y ; Mexican at
38 ; and Spanish Consols at 2934.
The Share market continues to be buoyant, and prices are
extremely firm.

I have directed legal proceedings to be commenced against Mr.
William Bland, who has affixed his name to advertisements, which
are unfounded, as regards the Gentlemen with whom I have the ho-
nour of acting, and libellous as regards myself.
I am, Gentlemen,
Yours, faithfully,
WILLIAM RICKFORD COLLETT.

BRITISEI AND FOREIGN INSTITU'T'E.
RESOLUTIONS, founded on the REPORT and BALANCE-
SHEET read at the General Meeting of the Members of the
BRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE, on Saturday, the 31st of
May, and carried unanimously. .

Right Hon. tile EARL of DEVON, in the Chair.
Proposed by JAMES SIMPSON, Esq. ; Seconded by Captain
MAcoNocRIE, R.N.
" 1. That the Report and Balance-sheet now read be adopted, and
printed for general circulat on among the Members ; and that the
suggestions and recommendations of the Committee, contained in the
Report, be approved and carried into execution."
Proposed by Lord JAMES STUART, M.P. ; seconded by Z. A.
JESSELL, ESQ.

" 2. That the position attained by the Institute, at the close of this,
the second year of its existence only, is highly satisfactory, as show-
ing, that notwithstanding all the difficulties, opposition, and pre-
judices with which it has had to contend, its present income has been
made to cover its actual expenditure : and that the value of its as-
sets greatly exceeds its liabilities."
Proposed by E. W. PENDARVES, Esq., ALP.; seconded by the Rev.
JAMES ST. AUBYN.

" 3. That though the Annual Subscriptions to the Institute were
originally fixed at too low a scale for the varied advantages and plea-
sures which it offers to the Members, it is thought best to continue
them for the present, without any change, the Council relying on the
efforts of the Members generally (now that all doubt of success
and stability is removed) to exert themselves in their respective
circles, by correcting misapprehensions, and making the real merits
and attractions of the Establishment more generally and more accu-
rately known, so that by constantly increasing numbers, the income
may be proportionately improved, without any addition to the exist-
ing rates, and the funds be thus made adequate to accomplish all the
improvements contemplated and desired."
. . .

rmposed by Sir GEORGE STAUNTON, Bart.; seconded by GEORGE
WILBRAHAM, EMI.

" 4. That one of the most effective modes of making extensively
known the nature and character of the Literary Proceedings of the
Institute, will be to give the widest possible circulation to the First
Volume of its transactions, in which these proceedings will be fully
and faithfully recorded :—and that as this will be well calculated to
convey accurate information into circles where much misapprehension
may prevail, it is strongly recommended to the Members generally to
promote its circulation accordingly."
Proposed by WYNN ELLIS, Esq., M.P. ; seconded by Brig.-Gen. Sir
HENRY PYNN.

" 5. That the four classes of members, as at present arrra- ged, be
in all future entries limited to two only ; namely, town members and
country members ; the former to include all who reside or who have
estabil,hments in London, or within seven miles of the General Post-
office, or who remain in town for more than two months at any one
time, and make use of the Institute during any part of that perfod ;
and the latter, to embrace all who live beyond that distance, who
have no establishments in the metropolis, and who do not remain in
town beyond the specified period."
Proposed by CHARLES COCHRANE, ESQ. ; seconded by HENRY
TUDOR, ESQ.

" 6. That the annual subscription for ladies, when elected members
of the Institute, and entitled to all its privileges, shall be only the
half of that paid by gentlemen of each class: and that families of
four individuals shall be admitted to all the advantages of member-
ship at the rate of two single members only."
Proposed by ALEXANDER PRINCE, ESQ. ; seconded by JOHN ANDER-
soN, Esq. _ _

" 7. That, in accordance with the recommendation of the annual
report, single and season tickets for visitors to the Soirees and Lec-
tures be made available to members for the accommodation of their
families and friends ; such tickets to be had through members only,
and the names of those for whom they are required, to be furnished
to the Secretary, previous to their being issued ; the scale of terms
to be regulated by the Committee, and the arrangement to commence
with the next session."

Proposed by Sir JOHN YARDE BULLER, Bart., M.P. ; seconded by ED-

WARD BAYLIS , Esq

" 8. That the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to the
Right Ron. the Earl of Devon, the President of the Institute, for his
continued and zealous interest in its welfare : and to the trustees,
Vice-Presidents, and Committee, forming the Council of the Institute,
for their valuable co operation in the promotion of its success."

Proposed by the Rev. SEPTISILTS RAMSAY, M.A. ; seconded by
DR. CAMPS.

"9. That the thanks of this meeting are also especially due to Mr.
Buckingham, for the zeal, perseverance, and courtesy, with which
he has devoted himself, during the past year, to the superintendence
and direction of the affair; of the Institute, and to the efficiency and
economy with which its funds have been administered, as well as for
the liberality with which he has expended his own private means
to increase its attractions. And they entertain a firm hope that the
present absence of all remuneration to him for these services of the
past year, will be amply compensated in future ones, by the in-
creased number of Friends which each Member will feel it his duty
as far as praalcable, to add to the Institute ; so as by this, the best
and most unexceptionable of all means, to increase the stability and
popularity of the Establishment, and thus promote and consolidate
the interests of all who are concerned in its permanent welfare."
Proposed by Lord BROUGHAM seconded by Sir JOHN YABDE
BuLLEB, Bart., M.P.
" 10. That it would be unjust, unreasonable, and injurious to the
best interests of the Institute, to permit the Resident Director's ser-
vices for the past year to go wholly unrequited ; and as no surplus
exists out of the Annual Subscription Fund, to stand in lieu of salary,
it is resolved that the Members be invited to contribute a Guinea
each for the purpose of providing such compensation, as a just testi-
monial of their satisfaction with his management, and that the fol-
lowing gentlemen do form a Committee, with power to add to their
numbers, for the purpose of carrying this resolution into effect; and
that the Committee be at the same time instructed to inquire whe-
ther any reductions can be made in the expenditure, wi.hout impair-
ing the efficiency of the Establishment."
Lord Brougham Wynn Ellis, Esq., M.P.

Proposed by JOSEPH SEBAG, Esq. ; seconded by GEO. JoNr.s, EM.
" 11. That the cordial thanks of this meeting be given to Mr.
Leicester Stanhope Buckingham, for the urbane and courteous
manner in which he has discharged his duties as Secretary of the
Institute." (Signed) DEVON, Chairman.

N" ENVEL OPE.
In consequence of the great variety of counterfeit Envelopes
of ROWLAND'S RALYDOR, and other disreputable means resorted
to by unprincipled individuals for imposing on the public their highly
pernicious compounds under the title of KALYDOB," the Pro-
prietors and sole Preparers of the Original and Genuine Preparation,
acting uncle' a sense of duty, and regardless of expense in the attain-
ment of their object—the protection of the public from fraud and
imposition, have employed those celebrated artists, Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co., who have succeeded, at great cost, in producing from
a steel plate a NEW ENVELOPE of exquisite beauty.
It comprises a highly-finished Engraving of the Grecian Graces
standing on a classic pedestal, on each side of which is a rich pro-
fusion of flowers springing from an elegant cornucopia ; these taste-
fully blending with Arabesque-scrolls and wreaths, encircle the Royal
Arms of Great Britain, surmounting the words
" ROWLAND'S KALYDOR,"
&c., &c., &c., whilst a plinth at the foot displays the Signature of the
Proprietors, in red, thus—

" The various positions of Lover, Husband, and Parent, the in-
herent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and prevented
through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions. To such, among
others, this Essay addresses itself; and by its perusal many questions
may be satisfactorily adjlisted that admit of no appeal even to tha
most confidential friend."—Stafford Gazette.

"Long experience in the treatment of a class of diseases hitherto
neglected and most imperfectly understood by the great bulk of the
medical profession, has enabled the writer to prove that there are
concealed causes of Nervous Debility in existence, where the mere
routine practitioner would never dream of finding them; traceable
to certain habits, forming the most secret, yet deadly, and fatal
springs of domestic misery, and premature mortality."--Wakefield

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the heads of :amilies from the
possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick-
ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvioed to
all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house-
holder in the kingdoml From among numerous testimonials, the
following is respectfully submitted :
" TO Ma. THOMAS PROUT, 29, STRAND, LONDON.
:5, Cooper-street, Manchester, March 12, 1842.
Sir,—l have much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience, after repeated trials, of FRAMPTON'S PILL
OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of
many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found
results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system
from redundant bile, &c., &c.. with so little inconvenience
therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means
ong wanting, of being able to recommend to families, schools, and
especially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource In an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated.
" I am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedented sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re
commendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengtheded comment necessary ; they are
not put forth as a care for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but
for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-known at-
tendants, Bilious and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after meals,
Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drowsiness,
Heartburn, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, &c •
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomachs will speedily regain its strength ; a healthy
action of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys, will rapidly take place ;
and instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS.

Sir James Graham has directed that a copy of the following
letter and important rule relative to the treatment of prisoners
sentenced to death should be issued to the Chairman of the Quarter
Sessions for every county in England and Wales
" Whitehall, June 2, 1845.

" Sir,—l am directed by Secretary Sir James Graham to trans..
mit to you the inclosed rule relative to the treatment of prisoners
condemned to death, and to the proceedings to be observed
on the day of an execution, on the occasion of a con-
demned sermon, or of the performance of Divine ser-
vice after sentence of death has been pronounced. This
rule has been drawn up after the careful consideration of the
subject; and Sir James Graham requests that you will lay
it before the magistrates assembled at the next general ses-
sions for the county of , with his recommendation
_ .

........._ ,
that they should add it to the rules in force for the government
of the county prisons, and submit it to him for his certificate of
approval in accordance with the provisions of the sth and 6th
Will. IV., cap. 38, sec. 2.
" Sir James Graham is desirous that the attention of visiting
magistrates should be directed to that part of the rule, which pro-
vides that no persons, except the authorities and officers of the
prison, shall have access to such prisoners.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,
" S. M. PHILLIPPS.

" The Chairman of the Quarter Sessions
for the county of -."
PRISONERS CONDEMNED TO DEATH.
" Every prisoner condemned to death shall be confined in some
safe place within the prison, apart from all other prisoners, and
shall be allowed such a dietary as the visiting justices may direct,
and exercise in the open air for a reasonable time every
day. He may be visited by his relations, friends, and legal
advisers, at his own request, by an order In writing from any
visiting justice. No other person shall have access to such pri-
soner, except the governor or other officer of the prison, the
chaplain, and surgeon ; or if such convict shall be of a religious
persuasion differing from that of the Established Church, a minister
of that persuasion, attending at his request. If any person, how.
ever, shall make it appear to a visiting justice that he has impor.
tant business to transact with the convict, such visiting justice may
grant permission in writing to such person to have a conference
with the convict in the presence of the governor.

" No person, except the proper authorities, the prison officers,
and the police on duty, shall be admitted into the interior of the
prison on the day of an execution, nor on the occasion of a con.
demned sermon, nor during the performance of Divine service after
sentence of death has been pronounced. Provided that this rule
shall not be interpreted to exclude a minister of a religious per-
suasion differing from that of the Established Church from attend-
ing, at his own request, a convict of such persuasion."

Intelligence has been received by the Over ar'---.—TlT3MTrirota
Bombay to the Ist of May; Calcutta, the 22d April; Delhi.
the 21st, and China to the Bth of March ; but we find
scarcely one new fact of the slightest importance. British
India was perfectly tranquil ; Sir Charles Napier had re-
turned to Kurrachee, the troops in Sinde were healthy, the
disturbances in South Mahratta had ceased, and the chiefs
of Sawunt Warree had all been captured by the British, or
surrendered to the Portuguese authorities at Goa, who had
guaranteed their safe custody till their final surrender should
be arranged between the Governments of the two countries.
The news from the Punjaub is more satisfactary,
No new outbreak or murders had taken place, and the
leading chiefs seemed inclined to submit to the authority of
the Ranee Raja. Goolab Singh had proceeded to Lahore,and
a durbar was held in the Huzooreebaugh, at which he swore
fealty to the Ranee and afterwards to the young Raja, at
the same time presenting rich presents as a token of recon-
ciliation. It was understood that Goolab Singh would be
appointed Wuzeer. The British troops Niere collecting in
considerable numbers at the Sutlej, but no immediate hostile
movements against Lahore were anticipated. According to
the correspondent of the Herald, who writes from Bombay,
" numerous boats constructed for bridging or navigating the
Indus, as occasion may require, continue to be dispatched
twice or thrice a week from Bombay to Kurrachee; and every
effort is making to complete the large flotilla of steamers and
accommodation boats demanded by the Government of
Shide. These preparations, rumour has it, have a refer-
ence to an approaching conflict with the Seikhs." We rather
think they have reference to Akbar Khan

The troops engaged in the expedition under Sir Charles
Napier in Upper Sinde had all returned to their cantonments,
with the exception of a force of 3,000 men, consisting, of
the 7th Irregular Cavalry, the Bundelkund Le&n,
and Fitzgerald's Camel corps, who form a cordon
extending from Larkhana to Shahpoore, and from the former
place to Lchwan, under the command of Captain Beatson.
This force is directed to patrol from post to post, preventing
the passage of the robbers, attacking them when they show
themselves, but prohibited from following them into their
fastnesses without the special permission of the Governor.
Intelligence had reached Bombay of the death, from apo-
plexy, of Meer Nusseer Khan, one of the deposed Princes of
Sinde. This event occurred at Dum-Dum, near Calcutta.
The 78th Highlander arrived at Voonah on the 18th of April,
and their health continued steadily to improve. Upwards of
100 of the invalids of the corps were to leave for England
on the 11th of May. The Affghans were making prepare.
tions to attack Peshawur. Mahomed Akbar Kahn quitted
Caubul for Jellalabad on the 15th of February, after a stay
there of only eleven days, and is again in the valley of Nun.
gunhur prosecuting his arrangements fur offensive operations.
The following commercial intelligence appears in the
Times :

"In Bengal the commercial news from England induced
some speculation in sugar, and parties are known to have
received private information as to the alteration in the sugar
duties, which enabled them to get the start of their neigh-
bours. Government secrets are generally well kept in Eng-
land, but this time the subordinate officials in London seem
to have been as communicative as their Calcutta brethren.
" Our reports from the indigo districts are more favourable,
heavy rains having been very general. A letter from
Jessore says, they fully make up for the previous drought.
In Tirhoot there are complaints of hail-storms, and the
eastern districts have suffered considerably, but, on the whole,
the prospect of a full average crop is maintained.
"The shippers of opium at the first sale of the season hav-
ing received favourable accounts, a spirit of speculation in
the drug has recommenced, and it being now known that
the Malwa crop of the past season will not turn out within
some thousand chests cf the estimates made at the beginning
of the year, prices are expected to go up, and may pro-
bably reach 1,600 Company's rupees in the coming sales.
The Company will consequently receive a most splen-
did revenue from this article, perhaps half a mil-
lion sterling more than was calculated upon. Ex-
changes and public securities continue very steady, and
money, though not abundant in the bazaar, is not becoming
so scarce as was anticipated from appearances amongst the
great native shroffs some weeks ago._ •

" The news from China is to the Sth of March, but is of
little interest. Governor Davis, while on a visit at Macao,
had been attacked by some Chinese footpads, who got him
down, and were proceeding to strip him, when they were
scared sw.y by the appearance of some Portuguese genti,-men
of the place."
