GREAT NOVELTY IN PERIODICAL LITERATURE.
On the let of May next,
THE ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE
will be issued as a Bound Volume, without extra charge.
The issuing of a Magazine in bound volumes monthly will remove
the great objection to periodical publications when sent out in paper
covers. They are always unsightly, are frequently lost by being scat-
tered about, and give an appearance of carelessness and neglect to
the drawiNg-room or library table, where neatness and elegance of
arrangement are so desirable.
The plan on which the New Series of the ILLUMINATED MAGA-
ZINE will be issued will obviate these objections ; it will furnish
every month, to the book-case or library,
A HANDSOME BOUND VOLUME,
(Price One Shilling and Sixpence)
in small Bvo., which will be enriched with the best Artistic and Li-
terary talent of the day.

GIG ACCIDENT.—Thursday aftei mop, about four
o'clock, a serious accident occurred to Mr. Joseph Partridge,
a medical gentleman, residing in Duke-street, Aloomsbury-
square. It appears that Mr. Partridge was on his return
from visiting a patient, when, near Ebury-street, Pimlico,
the bearing rein broke, and the horse, a very spirited animal,
became totally unmanageable, and went off at a terrific pace
in the direction of the Vauxhall road. It is supposed that
Mr. Partridge became alarmed, and in endeavouring to
alight at the back of the gig, fell with extreme violence on
his head. The horse was stopped nearly opposite the Royal
Standard public-house, having stunned himself against the
wall of the main sewer. Mr. Partridge was conveyed into
Mr. Cotton's, a surgeon, labouring under a concussion of the
brain, and, after some time,
was conveyed to his home with
alight hopes of recovery.

king- makers.
Meantime our Government has made no sign of an
intention to interfere, beyond the quiet concentration of
a considerable part of its available forces in the north-
west frontier, which may indeed signify either an ag-
gressive or simply a precautionary design. It is, how-
ever, hardly lilit 1y that we shall willingly rush into a
war at time beginning of the hot season, and the general
imoressioa stems to be that the Sutlei frontier is being
strengthened on the chance of the Seiks crossing the
river, and that in the next cold season we shall pluck

" the pear."
The Governor-General yet remains at the Presidency,
and still lends the full light of his countekance to the
cause of education and internal improvement. He has
since our last presided at two scholastic anniversaries,
those of the College. and the Calcutta Madrb-sa or Ma-
hornedan College. On each occasion he made a speech
strongly indicathe of a desire for the amelioration of
the country, and the moral and intellectual advancement
of the people. But it is evident that these pacific em-
ployments do not engross his attention or divert his
mind from the peculiar external relations of the coun-
try at the present crisis ; and nobody would be taken
by surprise were the next Calcutta Gazette to contain a
proclamation of war with the Punjaub, or were the Go-
vernor-General next to be heard of on his way to Feroze-

pore.
Affghanistan is seemingly as quiet as it ever has been
or is, for a long time to come, likely to be. Possibly the
hope of a descent on the Punjaub may be the oil which
has smoothed its troubled waters, and effected a tempo-
rary coalescence of its discordant elements. The Dost
has taken to himself another wife, a young lady to whose
har_d one of his own sons aspired. This event has, as
might be supposed, bred some dissension in his family.
Akbar Khan and his father, between whom some cool-
ness existed, probably from the above affair, because of the
jilted youth being the former's full brother, aid their
mother being a party aggrieved by the old man's new
alliance, have been reconciled. Akbar is still at Jolla-•
labad. Ile has not as yet made any hostile demonstra-
tion en this side of the Khyber, though it appears to'
have been his father's wish that he should immediately
attack the Seikhs in Peshewur.
Our latest news from Sinde is that Sir Charles Na-
pier's expedition against " the Pindarees of the Indus"
had been so far successful that he had straitened and
dispersed the robber tribes and reduced their leader,
Bejar Khan, to the necessity of proposing to surrender
himself on condition of his life being spared. In all
probability our western contemporaries will be able to
send home accounts of the manner in which he has been
disposed of.
The insurrectionary movements in the southern
Conceit seem to have been almost entirely suppressed,
and the captured rebels are being brought to punish-
ment. Colonel Outrank has again distinguished himself
for zeal and activity in the pursuit of the arch-rebel
Phond Sawant, who, however with many of his fol-
lowers, has found a sanctuary in the Goa territories.
The Gallant Colonel has been appointed resident at
Sattara. The brilliant feat of Camel Wallace in send-
ing his force down a precipice into the enemy's position
has led to his arrest on a charge of having thereby
marred the arrangements of the general commanding.
In Calcutta things go on as monotonously as usual.
The great event of the past fortnight has been a nume-
rously attended town-hall meeting, to thank her Ma•
jesty for the gift of her portrait arid that of her consort,
which she has presented to her loyal subjects of the
Ditch at the instance of Dwarkanauth Tagore. An ad-
dress was voted, which is to be signed by the sheriff for
the inhabitants, and to be presented by Dwarkanauth,
who leaves India by the Bentitick. By the same oppor-
tunity Dr. Goodeve returns to England iu charge of four
liindoo medical students, who are to complete their pro-
fessional education in the London hospitals, two of them
at Dwarkanituth's expense.
Railroads for India seem to be attracting the atten-
tion of the public both in England and in this country.
As yet the only definite project before the public here
is for a short line on the Bombay side, the patrons of
which, however, seem to be nailing for the countenance
and assistance of Government. But the last mail brought
hints of gigantic undertakings in contemplation at home,
for a series of railways, whose ramificarivns shall reach
from coast to coast, and lay open the centre of the penis-
sula. The same mail also brought one of our contem-
poraries a printed scheme of a railway from Calcutta to
Burctran, which the said contemporary, erroneously as
we think, has been led to attribute to Mr. R. Macdonald
Stephenson. The impression here seems to be that a
line which should do nothing more than connect Burd•
wan with Calcutta would not pay.
Our latest news from China is to the 14th of January,
but is not of much importance.
The Chamber ) f Commerce at Singapore has been,
exerting itself in the way of memorialising to obtain a
steam communication between that settlement and Point
de Crane.. Their wishes have, however, bten anticipated
at home, for the Peninsular and Oriental Company will
have two steamers on the line between Ceylon and China
in August next, and they will, of course, touch at Singa-
pore, and perhaps also at Penang.
The Singapore papers bring accounts of the death of
Dr. Griffith, late acting superintendent of the Calcutta
Botanic GarCens, and an eminent botanist. He died at
Malacca on the Bth February.

(From the Delhi Gaziiiie of March 1.) •
Sirdar Jowahir Singh, the Prime Minister, seems to
have become exceedingly unpopular with the soldiery,
and has done himself much damage in their opinion by
ill-treating and mutilating a favourite. leader, Mirsa
Judha Rum, who had been driven to suicide by the
cruel indignities heaped upon him by Jowahir Singh. It
was reported, on good authority, that negotiations
between Goolab Siugh and Peshwa Singh had been
concluded, and that they had ended in an agreement to
afford mutual aid to each other. The troops have also
determined on placing Peshwa Singh at the head of
atfm.irs, and will, it is expected, bring him to Lahore
within the next ten or twelve days. It was yet doubtful
,whether the army would destroy Goolab Singh or make
him viaier. Jowahir Singh was preparing for a struggle
with Goolab and Pegie-a, and, says the news vrriter,
everything has the appearance of a battle being about
to be fought at Lahore. It was reported that Akbar
Khan was in the Khyber, and Dust Mahommed at Jel-
lalabad, whence he had written to the Governor of

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

March 7.);
EXPORTS.
In our last issue we noticed that the demand for country
produce was then less active than it had been during the
earlier part of the month. The express of the January mail
arrived on the 21st ultimo, and the accounts of the home
market being considered generally unfavourable have tended
still further to discourage shipments. Tonnage continues
scarce and dear, and those articles most affected by it
show a considerable falling off in our monthly statement of
exports.
Indigo—The quantity available for sale at the date of our
last was so limited, that the business since transacted has of
course been somewhat unimportant. By public sale there
have been offered 1,156 chests, the chief part of which found
buye m iat prices showing an advance of 5 to 10 Co.'s rs. per
maund upon the rates previously current. This rise was
chiefly owing to the competition of the Moguls, in com-
pleting their orders for a ship on the point of sailing. t.The
market must nw be considered as having closed for h

sugar—The discouraging advises reeeiyed by the men,

end the uncertainty that must prevail until the question of
duties is finally settled by the home Government, have re-
stricted operations hi this important staple.
The better descriptions of Benares have been saleable to a
moderate extent at about previous prices, but in all middling
and inferior kinds a decline of 4 a 6 annas per maund must
be quoted. Even with this disposition on the part of holders
to meet the market, buyers seem very unwilling to operate,
and we believe that no business of any importance has been
affected in these descriptions. Date sugar of the new crop,
which at this time last month was selling freely at 10-4 a
10-8 Company's rs., is now down to 9 a 9-4 Company's rs.,
at which rate a fair amount of transactions are in progress.
Saltpetre—There has been rather more doing in this arti-
cle, and, were freights obtainable on easier terms, there would
probably be a much better demand, the prospects of the
home market being not unfavourable. Meanwhile, ship-
ments to that quarter have been a good deal curtailed, and
last month exhibit a considerable falling off, being only
25,561 maunds, against 43,253 in January, 52,478 in Decem-
ber, and 58,536 maunds in November last. For France and
America very little was done during February, but within
'.he last day or two a few sales have been effected for the
latter quarter. The stock in the bazaar is a fair average one
for the season.
Raw Silk—Our last reported a fair inquiry for this staple,
bat, since the arrival of the mail, the demand has fallen oil, and
the business transacted has been extremely moderate.
Holders evince little inclination to submit to lower rates, and,
as well as purchasers, seem quite disposed to await the issue
of another mail.
Silk Piece Goods (Corahs)— Accounts by the last mail con-
tinuing in all respects favourable for these goods, demand has
been active, and prices well maintained. All parcels brought
to market find a ready sale, and though shipments durir,
the last four months have been large, there appears every
confidence in the consumption of tLe home market lacing
fuliy adequate to the increased supplies going tot ward. The
quantity shipped during the last ten months exceeds the
whole consumption of 1344 by about 1,10,000 pieces.
Rice—A continuance of the high rates of freightage has
kept transactions in this article for home and shipment on a
very moderate scale. In prices there is little alteration, the
few sales of Table since made having been at our previous
quotations. For Mauritius a fair amount of business has been
done, but as the season is now advanced, shipments to most
of the other eastern markets have been less extensive than
during the two previous months.
Shell Lac—There has been little doing in this article of
late, and prices are rather lower.
Lac Dve—Has been in better request, chiefly for the Eng-
lish market, to which quarter shipments are becoming in-
creased. Of the finest kinds there is very little or none at
market, and quotations for these are, therefore, nominal.
Hides—There has not been much doing in these goods, and
sales have been chiefly confined to a few small parcels of
superior quality.
Jute—This article is very dull of sale, and prices have
fallen considerably, the best cleaned being now procurable at
Company's rs. 8 per bale, and at this reduction there is no
general demand.
Oil Seeds—ln these we have little alteration to make either
as regards demand or prices. For England shipments con-
tinue moderate, and must remain so until they can be sent
forward at more reasonable freights. During the latter part
of February there was no vessel on the berth for the United
States, but during the last few days the arrival of two ships
from that quarter has caused a little ninre to be done in linseed.
Horns and Horn Tips in moderate inquiry, the former at
12 a 11 Company's rs. per 100 ; the latter 7-12 a 8 Company's
re. per maund.
Cotton continues quite neglected, and for shipment we
have not heard of a single transaction since our last. Prices
of the new cotton in the Upper Provinces have fallen con-
siderably during the last month. Accounts of the China
market are stilrunfavourable, though the absence of further
supplies was beginning to tell upon the stock held by im-
porters.
Opium—A few days after our last the receipt of adviees
from China to Jan. 13, per Audax and Water Witch, had the
effect of raising prices of the drug.
Freights—The available tonnage continuing limited the
rates of homeward freightage have undergone no reduction.
