But Morocco, more barbarous and " nearer home"

example. The more warlike but less statesmanlike Em-
PEROR of the old Mauritania, having all the elements of
legitimate military empire about him (that is to say,
dilapidated finances, decayed resources, large army esti-

frontier, and exhausting wars upon his hands), this mo-

'We have received letters and papers from Bombay to the
12th of May. The intelligence is not of striking importance.
The chief subject of interest is the continuation of the in-
trigues at Lahore. Ghoolab Singh was there a sort of state
prisoner; for the troops were unwilling to murder him until
he had disgorged the vast sums of money which he and his
brothers and nephew had purloined from the treasury of
old Runjeet Singh. A part of the troops were said to be
in his pay. Since his coming to Lahore, whither, it is now
said, he has been wheedled by the manoeuvres of the
Queen-Mother of the boy-King Khuleep, he has been under
a sort of surveillance. Watched by the Queen's party, lest
he should find means of bribing all the Khalsa, he has been
called on to give up his fortresses and his wealth. He TOWS
that his wealth is concealed in places known only to himself,
and that unless he is allowed to return to his hill forts, he can
only give a small sum. The Queen-Mother's brother is said
to be his decided enemy, while she herself treats him with
marked respect, and has even conferred on him, with the
sanction of the Khalsa troops, the title of " Laut General,"
that is Commander-in- Chicf of all the Forces in the Punjaub
This nomination is highly agreeable to the Seikh troops,
who wish, under the command of this old warrior, to tight
with the British army assembled on their frontiers, and will,
it is said, make a movement during the rainy season.
Ghoolab is said have volunteered to lead them.

The China Mail affords information as to the Canton

By the new rules, ships over 100 tons burthen are to pay

they remain above fourteen days. During the twelve months

nent and ruinous claims upon his coffers, he flies at all
the trade he can grasp, on his coasts or within his pro-
vinces; at Mogadore or in Fez, at Tetuan or El Araiche.
On whatever commodities or merchandise the spirit of
commercial adventure brings within his reach, instead
of encouraging their renewed investments by moderate
and equitable imposts, and by dealing with them on
terms proscribed by former conventions or lan-
guage, he has just attempted to lay strong
hands, as it were, in order to squeeze violently out of
them whatever can be presently obtained, at whatever
future loss to his exchequer and his people. It seems,
on the authority we have just quoted, that it has been
deemed expedient—by the Board of Trade of Morocco—
that the same rates are to be levied on all kinds of cotton
and woollen piece goods, without reference to their re-
spective qualities, and the same system is to be observed
also with regard to goods usually imported by weight,
so that ss. or 21s. sterling will be charged in a quintal of
copperas and other goods of very little value. This is
abundantly foolish—barbarous, if you will ; but it
strikes us that analogies may have existed to within a
very recent period in the unwise legislation we have
known to be doggedly pursued in respect of prohibitory
duties on raw material, colonial, and other products,
and foreign fabrics of indisputable importance to the
comfort of a community more enlightened, more for-
midable, and certainly more patient than that of the em-
pire of Morocco.

ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 6, 1845.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Precursor
arrived at Suez on the 3d inst. with seventy-five passengers.
She left Calcutta on the 3d and Madras on the 9th of May.
The following is a list of the passengers landed at Suez
from the Precursor, and proceeding this day to Southampton
by the Great Liverpool :
From Calcutta—The Lord Bishop of Calcutta, Rev. J.
Pratt, Colonel Stubbs, Mr. and Mrs. Aylwin, Captain Smyth,
Mr. Scott, Mr. M‘Murray, Mr. M'Gowan, Mrs. Lake and
child, M. Montigny, Captain Adamson, Mr. D. Jardine,
Mr. Wise' Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Dick and child, Mr. Wroot,
Mr. Morphee, Mr. Spankie, Mr. Hicks, Mr. and Mrs. Richard-
son, Dr. Leckie, Mr. Tennant.
From Madras.—Lev. and Mrs. Cotterill and two children,
Major Dowell, M. D. Piron, Capt. Freese, Lieut. Dansey, Dr.
Nicholson, Lieut. Jones.
From Point de Galle—Rev. J. Garstin, Rev. G. Graeme,
WGibbs, Mr. and Mrs. Anstruther and child, Mrs. Hutchings.

The hatred of the Seikh troops against the British is
only equalled by their love of money, and their thirst
of plundering the provinces under the British rule. Of this
feeling there have been given irrefragable proofs in their late
attempts at invasion, Bcc. There is therefore a strong pro-
bability of a conflict within a short period, for the Supreme
Government cannot for its sake remain a passive spectator
of revolution, bloodshed, and massacres in a neighbouring
state, and especially when the turbulent soldiery of that state
is lisposed to act in the most hostile manner towards India.
The news from Affghanistan is, that Dost Mahommed and
his son Akbar are waiting until the events in Lahore will
enable them to seize Peshawur. In the interior of India
tranquillity prevails. Th e death of old Chundoo Doll, Prime
Minister of the Nizam, has taken place. The Maharatta
country was quiet. The court-martial on Colonel Wallace
had terminated, but the decision was not known. Sinde was
tranquil and healthful.
The news from China come down to the end of March.
The Emperor had received some favourable notices of Chris-
tianity, and was disposeQl to tolerate it. Lieutenant A. 111‘Do-
nald, of her Majesty's 9ith Regiment, had been tried by a
court-martial, for sending an insulting note to his superior
officer ; he was sentenced to be cashiered ; but, on a revi-
sion, a milder punishment has been inflicted.
Major-General Sir T. Valiant died of spasmodic cholera,
on the 22d of April, at Calcutta. He is much regretted in
India, as being an old and meritorious officer. Cursetjee
Manockjee, a distinguished Parsee, died at Bombay, on the
7th of May, in his 83d year.
There were several frightful murders amongst the natives

WALLIS V. JULIA.
The plaintiff is a bill-broker and brought the action to recover
the sum of 141. 9s. on a bill of exchange which the defendant was
the indorcee. A plea was put on the record that no notice of dis-
honour had been given, but he did not appear to support his plea.
The plaintiff's clerk was called, and proved that on the same day
that the bill was returned dishonoured, a notice was posted directed
to defendant.
The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff.
HOLDING V. BROOKS.
This was an action t 3 recover the sum of 91. 65. on a bill of ex-
change. _

The only issue for the jury to try was whether the acceptance
was that of the defendant : lie did not appear to support his plea, and
a verdict was given for the plaintiff.
The plaintiff's attorney said the defendant had put a plea on the
record which was false, but which liad been demurred to, and the
demurrer had bees allowed. The plaintiff had thereby been put to
an extra expense of 501.

Accounts from Brussels of the 16th announce the re-
signation of all the Ministers. It appears that the elec-
tions, both in the capital and Antwerp, had gone de-
cidedly against the Government candidates, and eleven
Liberals had been returned. These unexpected results had
such an effect upon several of the members of the Cabinet,
that a Council was summoned, and, after some delibra-

in Bombay.
In a postscript our correspondent mentions that Islam
Khan, the only one of the robber chiefs who had escaped
from being taken prisoner by Sir C. Napier, had returned to
make a foray into Sinde, but he was attacked and beaten by
the Murree tribe, by whom the British friendship is re-
spected, and who killed two Boogtie chiefs that joined him.
The frontier appears to be well defended.
The question of the succession in Bhopal has been decided,
by allowing the daughter of the late Raja to reign. She
is to marry a Prince chosen by the British Minister and her
friends.

This insolvent, who was a broker, came up for examination for
a final order. He was opposed for costs in an action. It appeared
he had been called in to appraise some furniture seized for rent,
and was subsequently made a defendant in an action of trover. lil
his examination he said he bought the goods at the appraisement
price, 291. 13s , and sold them again in different lots, making a
profit of three shillings only. The jury, however, in giving a
verdict, valued the property at 1701. The insolvent then filled his
schedule.

tion, all gave in their resignations. Baron D'HUART,
Governor of Namur, and formerly Finance Minister, was
immediately sent for, and intrusted with the formation of
a new Ministry. Tlae visit of the KING and QUEEN to
England has in consequence been deferred. The Libe-
rals have reason to congratulate themselves on the down-
fal of this Ministry, which showed every disposition to
consult the views of the bigoted Catholic party.

Mr. Pn►xx contended that the distress was altogether a frau-
dulent one, and that it was incredible that the property had been
sold for the sum stated. _ _

Madrid journals of the MI have been received. I t
is announced in several of them that the regulations for
assessing and levying the new property -tax will be offi-
cially published in a few days. The law; it appears, is
to have a retrospective effect, and Senor MoN beats Mr.
GOULBURN completely in that respect, who went back
only as far as the end of March, while the Spanish
Chancellor of the Exchequer will levy the new impost
from the Ist of January last. The bull fights had com-
menced, and one of them, if we are to believe a Madrid
letter, promises to be most interesting, as several of the
foreign diplomatists, or attache, are to figure as
matadors. The writer says, " An amateur bull-fight is to
take place on the estate of Senor FAGOUGA, which will
derive considerable attraction from the parts which
some foreign diplomatists are to enact on the occasion.
Amongst those mentioned are, LIVINGSTON, Secretary
to the American Legation; the Duke DE GLUCKSBERG
and M. MERCIER, of the French Embassy; and M. DE
BEAUVALLON, a writer of the French Globe, who some
months ago

THE MARKET.
(From the Chamber qf Commerce Overland Pricc Current.)
BOMBAY, MAY 10, 1845.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said he had fully considered the
subject, and felt that he had not power to decide on the question
of the original fraud. The point was whether there had been a
just disposition of the property. His opinion was, that the goods
must be taken as worth 1701., and that they had not been ac-
counted for beyond the 29/. 16s. Under those circumstances he
should refuse to make any order.

The departure of an intermediate mail for Aden, from whence
it will be conveyed along with the Calcutta ordinary monthly
dispatch, renders it necessary to prepare a brief report of the
business done during the last ten days. The market has
continued in a tolerably active state, and some considerable sales
have been made, but this animation has been chiefly owing to the
fact that the close of the season is now fast approaching, and the
period during which dealers can make purchases for exportation
rapidly diminishing. By the latter end of the present month com-
munication with the coast by sea will entirely cease, and all active
business terminate until after the monsoon.

Mr. Hucuss, for the insolvent, asked for a day to be fixed for
him to come up again.
The Learned CONIMISSIONEft said he would not name a day. The
insolvent could come up again under the statute, but it would be
no use doing so, at least for a long time.
In another case of insolvency, Mr. Buchanan, a solicitor, ap.
peared on behalf of a S,,eiety for the Prosecution of Fraudulent
Dentors.

Metals—The prices of Sheathing, Brazier's, and Tile Copper
are ashade lower than at the date of our last. 125 cwt. of the
first-named variety is reported to have been sold at rs. 53i per
cwt., while of the last a sale of 400 cwt. is said to have taken place
at rs. 51, and of 100 cwt. (29 plates) at 50k. Raised bottoms
exhibit no change, but South American is in rather better de-
mand, and steady at our quotation. We have no alteration to
notice in the prices of iron : few transactions have taken place,
but the rates current on the let instant are fully sustained Lead,
spelter, quicksilver, and tin plates, are likewise without change in
demand or value.

The Learned COMMISSIONER said that he would not hear any
societies.

----------
Mr. BUCHANAN said he also appeared for individual creditors,
who were present.
The Learned CommissiONEß said that he would hear him en their
behalf.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY
OLD COURT.

Cotton Manufactures—The market has been somewhat active,
and a fair business has been done, chiefly in gray and bleached
shirtings of good quality, and the better sort of other gray
goods. The principal purchasers of the former have been the
Marwarries, who came into the market about the period of the
departure of the last mail, and have engaged in some rather
extensive transactions. Gray madapollams and jacconets of
good descriptions have continued in demand ; but inferior
fabrics of all sorts, together with most varieties of bleached
goods, have been quite neglected. There have been some
sales in Lappets, and the higher qualities of them are in requisition—
the lower remaining dull of sale, Turkey red prints also enjoy a fair
inquiry, and for furniture chintzes there has been a steady demand.
Muslins and other varieties of fancy goods are much as before.
Yarns—The market for the lower numbers of yarn, both mule
and water, has continued to improve, and we have now to notice a
further rise of about of an anna per lb. on Nos. 20, 30, and 40
mule, and a slight advance also in the same numbers of water.
Turkey red and orange yarn are without alteration.
Woollens—The market is without change, there being scarcely
any inquiry for Woollen cloths, and no alteration in the last quoted
rates. The only salesof which we have been apprised are 447 of
fine yards cloth at rs. 6 per yard, and 4,600 yards of flannels at 11
annas per yard. . _

(Before Mr. Justice ParrEsos and Mr Baron PLATT.)
TILE SLAVE-TRADE CASE.—The Case of Jennings, who, our read-
ers will recollect, stood charged (together with Mr. Zulueta) with
dealing in slaves some time since, was, upon the application of Mr.
Prendergast, postponed till Friday, for the accommodation of Mr.
M. D. Hill, who appears as counsel for the defendant. The
Learned Counsel applied for the postponement till Saturday, but
Mr. Justice ParrEsox refused to postpone it till that day, on the
ground that it would probably last more than a day, and if it did so
the jury would have to be locked up till Monday.
Capt. Jennings surrendered this morning.
RAPE.—John George Stephens, a boy sixteen years of age, was
indicted for unlawfully attempting to commit a rape upon Lucy
Taylor, a girl under the age of ten years.
The jury, after Mr. Baron PLATT had summed up, found the
prisoner Not Guilty.
After a suitable admonition from the Learned Baron, the pri-
soner was removed from the bar.
Since Monday there has been an addition of thirty-one prisoners
LO the Calendar.

The Spanish Funds continue to improve. On the
10th the Three per Cents. closed at 31 for cash, and at
31i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 20/ for cash,
and 21 at 60 days ; the Coupons at 26k for cash; and
the Debt without Interest at 6 15-16 for cash.

In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday the
principal business for the remainder of the session was
arranged, and the following Bills will be passed:--The
Paris and Strasburgh, the Tours and Nantes, the Dieppe
and Fecamp, and the Avignon and Aix Railway Bills.
Several others will be postponed, but all the great lines
are to be commenced without delay. In reference to these
great undertakings, as well as to the large sums voted
by the Chamber for bridges, canals, harbours, and other
national works, the Presse pays a just compliment to
the new dynasty as well as the Legislature. " The
Government of 1830," it says, " may be accused of want
of discrimination in its numerous enterprises, of having
been prodigal on some points, and penurious on others.
But altogether the country has made considerable pro-
gress during the last fifteen years with respect to modes
of communication. The Chamber is about to discuss
after the budget of expenses, a Bill by which a sum of
28,000,000 f. is allocated for the amelioration of the fol-
lowing harbours:—Dunkirk, Calais, Boulogne, Fecamp,
Port-en-Benin, Granville, Morlaix, Launay, Lorient,
Marans, les Sables d'Olonne, Bandol, Bastia—in all,
thirteen ports. Several of those harbours possess a real
importance, and one at present in so neglected a state as
❑ot to afford any advantage to trade. Calais, Boulogne,
Granville, Dunkirk, and Fecamp, in the Channel, invite
the solicitude of a government. According as the con-
struction of railroads facilitates the communications
between the interior and the coast, it becomes necessary
that the sea-ports should afford both national and foreign
commerce a secure station." But, independent of national
improvements, this system has other most important
advantages. These useful works furnish employment
to the labouring population, benefit the landowners, give
an outlet to capital, and tend besides to turn the public
mind from the dreams of foreign conquest to the more
noble and more substantial blessings of local improve-
ments. This is a victory far greater than any gained
by NAPOLEON, and does the highest honour to Louis
PHILIPPE. The representatives of the people now ma-
nifest the same disposition—they are liberal in their
grants for national works, but rival Mr. HOME and Mr.
WILLIAMS, the guardians of the English Exchequer, in
cutting down the army estimates. These estimates were
taken into consideration on Monday, and Marshal SOULT,
who hates reductions, was beaten on every point. On
the Government vote of 17,000,000 f. for the staff de-

EAST INDIA HOUSE—(THIS DAY.)
The usual Quarterly General Court of Proprietors was held this
morning at the East India House, Leadenhall-street, at twelve
o'clock, Sir H. Willock, Chairman of the Court of Directors, in
the chair.
The SECRETARY read the minutes of the proceedings of the last
Cohrt, which were confirmed.
Mr. TWINING then read the report of the Committee of Bye
Laws.

Marine Stores—We repeat our former quotations for all the
articles comprised under this head, except linseed oil and spirits of
turpentine, the prices of both of which articles have somewhat im.
proved. We have been informed of a sale of 250 gallons of the
former at 2 rupees per gallon, and a similar quantity of, the latter
at 3 rupees 2 annas per gallon. Sales of white and green paint
have, we understand, had effect at our quotations, but we have not
learnt particulars.
Beer—Arrivals, both of Allsop's and Bass's, continue to take
place, but are disposed of in fulfilment of contracts previously made,
so that there is none yet at market. We retain our former quota.
tions for these brands. Tennent's we believe, has been sold at
rs. 35. Of Hodgson's there is a small lot at market, but we hear
of no sales.

The members of the Committee were re-appointed, with the ex-
ception of Mr. Burney, who had resigned, when Mr. Hugh Fraser
Sandilands was proposed In his place.
Mr. Sergeant GASELEE put it to the Court whether it would not
be better to let the names emanate from the Court of Proprietors °
The CHAIRMAN explained that the course adopted on the pre-
sent occasion was the usual one, and that it was perfectly open to
the Proprietors to confirm or reject the nomination, or to propose
any other gentleman in his place.
The motion was then carried.
CASE OF THE RAJA OF SATTARA.

Spirits—Brandy has improved a little, and we are apprised of a
sale of 1,500 gallons of Bordeaux, at rs 2 N per gallon.
Cochineal is without change, and sales have taken place at our
quotations.
Bottles, Corks, Sec., exhibit no alteration worthy of remark.

Cotton—The market has been dull since the receipt
of the accounts by the overland mail vid Madras,
which arrived here on the 6th instant, and we now quote
Broach and Surat from Jr. to 2r. per candy lower than em
the last occasion—the other varieties remaining without change in
value. There is a fair selection at market, but owing to the some-
what unfavourable accounts from home, and to the late rise in the
rates of freight, the purchases for shipment to Great Britain have
been comparatively small, and the transactions at present going
forward are principally for the China market.
Opium—This drug continues to advance in price, good qualities
being scarce, and we now quote it at s. 1,350 per chest for the best
descriptions.

There are accounts by her Majesty's packet Swift, from
Rio, to April 23. It appears that the Chambers were still
discussing the budget, and that the proposition of
the Committee of Finances to levy an extra duty
of 6 per cent. on English cotton manufactures
was expected to be carried. The exchange on London had
been up to 25d., but subsequently went back a little. The
Coffee Market was moderately supplied, and the sales were
moderate. For stock there was scarcely any demand, and
the quotation had receded a little.

In other articles of Eastern produce we hear of nothing doing,

partment being proposed, an amendment was moved,
in accordance with the report of the Committee, to
reduce the amount by 80,000 francs, and,
though opposed by the Government, was adopted.
A reduction of 10,000 f. was also made in the estimate
for commandants of military schools, and not less than
200,000 f. in the recruiting department. Marshal SOULT
would give up only 18,000 f., but the Chamber would
not bate one franc, and he was obliged to submit. The
Marshal (says the Constitutionnel) is shortly to leave
Paris for his estate in the south of France, whence he
would proceed to visit the camp forming at Bordeaux,
under the command of the Duke D'AUMALE. Accounts
from Algiers state that Marshal BUGEAUD had lately
made several razzias with complete success—in one he
had taken a number of prisoners and 3,000 head of
cattle ; and in another had made 150 prisoners and
captured 1,500 head of cattle. ABD-EL-KADER was at

PRIZE-FIGHT FOR 501.—0 n Tuesday the fight
between Jack Driscoll and Apple Daddy was decided; both men
are well known members of the ring. In betting, Driscoll was the
favourite at odds. The pugilists and their friends left London by
the Brighton Railway, and arrived at the selected locality (Hurley
Common). The necessary preliminaries being arranged, the men
entered the ring, and appeared in fine condition ; they shook hands
in a friendly manner, and then put thi•mselves in a fighting
attitude, and after a severe round both went down. Apple Daddy
soon proved himself a better " general" than was anticipated.
They contended with unabated spirit, and at thirty minutes both
men exhibited marks of punishment. Fifty minutes had now been
occupied, and both were struggling for pugilistic honours, and at
the next round Driscoll received a desperate blow. The contest
was prolonged twenty minutes longer, when it was quite obvious
Apple Daddy was the stronger man ; his opponent, however, was
reluctant to relinquish the hostilities and endeavoured to keep up the
fight, when nature refused to assist him further, and the sponge
was thrown up by his seconds in token of submission, and Apple
Daddy was declared the winner. The fight lasted seventy-six minutes.
The result was contrary to general expectation, and mucn money
roust have been won and lost.
