OVERLAND MAIL.

INDIA AND CHINA.
(Abridged from the Times.)
This mail brings intelligence from Lahore, where the Go-
vernment of the Queen-Mother and her brother, the Wuzeer,
is in a precarious state. - Peshora Singh continues master at
Attock, on the Indus, and has beaten some troops sent

against him. He has been joined by Tej Singh, the well-
Gwohvi ec r nh or-
he
and his relatives and friends have received from the Govern-
ment at Lahore. The wily old chief, Ghoolab Singh, has
contrived to get away, on leave, from Lahore, and has re-
treated to Jamoo, where he is watching the course of events,
and regu'ating the web of his intrigues for his future ad-
vancement.
The Governor-General, Sir Henry Hardinge, was to quit
Calcutta on the 23d of September. He embarks at Bar-
rackpore, and will receive the last salute which Serampore
can_ give as a Danish settlement, for it is about to be ceded
immediately to the British authorities.
TLe deaths are mentioned cf two gallant officers, Major-
General Considine and Major Leece, of the Bombay Ar-
tillery, who had distinguished himself during the late cam-
paign in Affghanistan.
From Sinde little is known ; tranquility pervades its dis-
tricts. The small expedition to Kusmore on the banks of
the Indus above Sukkur bas returned to Hydrabad. Sir
Charles Napier was at Kurrachee, whither the 2d Regiment
of Bengal Europeans was marching from Upper Sinde in
order to secure its health on the subsiding of the Indus.
There has been much talk respecting the letter written by
Lieutenant-Colonel Outram to General W. Napier, in which
strong charges are brought against Sir Charles Napier.
Indignant at them, Sir C. Napier had asked for a court-
martial, either on himself or Colonel Outram, which were
both declined by the Governor-General, on the ground that
such an investigation was not requisite, and would lead to
the production of evidence which the nature of the service
did not require to be made public.
In the interior of India tranquility prevails.
Further details of the horrible crimes of the Ameers of
Sinde have come to light, greatly to the dismay of those who
upheld them as " innocent and injured Princes."
Mr. R. Montgomery Martin has arrived with this
mail from Bombay. His olject in coming to Eng-
land is to show the errors committed by the British
Plenipotentiary who made the treaty with China
in having selected the insalubrious and barren rock of
Hong Kong, instead of the fertile island of Chusan as the
British emporium in China. Hong Kong is a useless acqui-
sition, or rather it is a charnel-house for her Majesty's regi-
ments, one of which must be sacrificed every three years, in
order to maintain it as a British colony. It would be worth
the while of the British Government to take notice of the
intrigues of the actual French -diplomatists in China. They
have come there to seize every advantage which Great
Britain does not retain ; and, amongst their present
schemes, is one existing in their secret treaty for getting
Chusan to be their island and emporium, as soon as the Bris
tish relinquish that position next year. As they are but
mere imitators of the English, it has been recommended to
give them up Hong Kong, and to retain Chusan. It is an
undoubted fact that Great Britain would then only acquire
the advantages to which she is entitled ; from the past trans-
action it is universally admitted that it would be an act of
consummate folly to give up Chusan in order to its being
appropriated by the French.
The appointment of Mr. Davis to be the Governor of Hong
Kong was, as it now appears, a blunder, for the Chinese do
not respect him, and he cannot converse in their language.
One of the boldest, most talented, and most experienced
British diplomatists ought to be sent without delay to settle
with the Chinese Court as to the continued appropriation of
Chusan. The French intrigues in the Pacific are now
directed towards out-generalling England in China, and un-
less immediate care be taken the germ will be there
created of a bloody conflict with that power even in the
Chinese territory, such as was formerly the case in India.
Three of the newly acquired ports are good for nothing
as places of trade, viz., Amoy, Fow-chow-foo, and Ningpo.
There is more British trade carried on at Chusan
in a month than in those three places in a year.
The facts, of which we give here an outline,
are of sufficient importance to require the immediate dispatch
to China of a man of judgment. The name of the Earl of
Ellenborough is well known in the East. It would not be
beneath his dignity to go to arrange the difficulties which
are now arising with the Chinese. If this matter be ne-
glected, there is a proximate chance of another war with the
Celestial Empire, in which the schemes of France will have
contributed considerably to embarrass the good intentions of
England.
M. Lagrene, the French agent at Canton, appears to ex-
pect to proceed without delay to Pekin on a special mission,
iu the same manner as the actual Russian Ambassadcr.
The news from China comes down to the 10th of July, and
does not contain any remarkable fact. Trade was dull at
Canton and in the other four ports. The ship C. C. of Lon-
don was burned in the Chinese seas on the 21st. Crew saved
by the Judith, of Liverpool.
The cholera, after having ravaged many, places, was de-
creasing. The rains in some places overflowing, in others,
particularly at Bombay, rather scanty; the quantity fallen
in the last-named place was little more than 53 inches.
Railways were proposed at each of the Presidencies,
and with the greatest hopes of success. The utility
of one from Bombay to Bengal will become manifest,
from the fact that the mid-monthly mails of the 24th of
July were conveyed in a steamer from Aden to Bombay, and
thence sent express to Calcutta, where they arrived thirty-
six-hours before those sent by the steamer direct from Aden.
. •
Amongst the miscellaneous items of intelligence we may
mention the establishment of a new bank at Bombay, which
is called the " Commercial Bank," and the incorporation, by
an Act of the Legislative of the Assam Company, for the cul-
tivation of tea.

The arrival of the Hindostan steamer on the 3d, with Mr.
Simms, Mr. Stephenson,-and the railway surveyors who ac-
company him, has given new life to the railway'proceedings•
Nothing can exceed the earnest anxiety of the Governor-
General upon the subject. All is bustle and activity. A
commission, consisting of Col. W. N. Forbes, Col. Cheap.,
Capt. Greene, and Capt. Goodwyn, with two civilians, and
two mercantile men, has been already decided upon, and will,
in all probability, appear in Government orders in the next
Gazette.

The engineer officers have already been actively engaged
in obtaining such information as they conceived could be of
service to the cause, and among other valuable results may
be especially mentioned the decision to which these gentle-
men have come in regard to the practicability and ease with
which the line can be carried across the hilly range, after leav-
ing the alluvial plains of Bengal, a point on which opinions were
expressed very confidently to the contrary, until the correct
levels were taken by the engineer officers in charge of that
portion of the road. lam not conversant with the detai:s or
technical terms sufficiently to give the particulars, but it ap-
pears to be regarded as a point of considerable consequence
by the officers who surveyed the ground, and by those in-
terested in the railway, as removing any doubts which might
have previously existed in regard to the engineering ob-
stacles to be encountered.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
{From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.)
THE BOMBAY MARKET.
•BomBAY, Sem 15.—Altheugh the business transacted since
tour last has been, from the same causes as before, but limited
in extent, the aspect of the market for imports has continued fa.
vonrable, and we have in numerous instances to report a satisfac-
tory improvement in prices. Fears were at one time entertained of a
failure in the crops,. owing to the inadequate supply of rain; ,but
these apprehensions have, been in a great measure removed by a
plentiful fall
,within the last few days, and it is to be hoped the
threatened injury, if not entirely averted, will be at any rate ma-
terially lessened. From the present state of the market, and the
proipects which are apparent, there

as before, with the exception of the item nails, the price of which
is its. 2 per cwt. higher. In iron the only change is in sheet,
which has improved to the extent of six annas per cwt. Pig lead
is a shade higher, and quicksilver somewhat lower than last month.
The prices of other articles remain stationary.
Cotton Manufactures—The goods which have been principally
in request since the departure of the last mail have been gray and
bleached shirtings, madapollams (save very low descriptions),
gray and bleached jaconets of tine quality, and domestics of all
kinds. The last-named fabrics have obtained advanced
prices, as have also 45. inch gray skirtings and made-
pollams, and the finer qualities of bleached shirting. For
the other descriptions s.f goods sold very full rates have, almost
without exception, been paid. Satin stripes and spots, and jacenet
checks and stripes, have been in fair demand. For bleached mulls,
zebra dresses, and lappets, there is little inquiry, and scarcely any
sales have had effect, save of the finest descriptions of the latter.
Turkey red cloths are dull of sale, and the same may be said of
prints of different kinds.
Yarns—The lower numbers both of mule and water twist
have been in brisk demand since our last, and owing to the
firmness of holders, a general improvement in the prices
of these counts has taken place. Nos. 20 to 50 mule have
advanced to the extent of from 4at of an anna per lb., and Nos.
20 and 30 water from jat an anna. The stocks in the hands of
dealers are believed to be light, and this may perhaps lead to
greater improvement. We hear of no sales in water, but annas 7i
per lb. have, we believe, been refused for No. 20. Both Turkey
red and orange yarns are without change in value, but the inquiry
for the latter appears to have somewhat Improved, and the prospects
of the market are more favourable for it than before.
Woollens—Woollen cloths of all descriptions are still greatly ne-
lecand the prices offered quite utirentunerating. The only
gsaletoedfli which we have beard is one of :2,000 yards at rs. .2.0 per
yard. Flannels are in somewhat better demand, though prices
still continue low.. We are apprised of sales of 0,700 yards at
Minas 11, and 920 yards at annas 6 per yard.
Marine Stores—The only change we have to record in the prices
of the articles under this head is an improvement to the extent of
rs. I per barrel in coal pitch, of which 322 barrels have, as we
hear, been disposed of at the rate of rs. 5 per barrel. Of tar the
market is nearly bare, and consequently no transactions in this
article Lave taken place. Paints are still without inquiry.
Beer—There is no alteration to notice either in the price or de-
mand for the superior brand. Supplits are still held firmly, and
scarcely any transactions have taken place. For inferior dcscrip.
tions there is no inquiry whatever.
Spirits—Prices are without change.. We have been itif,;rined of
a Sale of 2$ puncheons of rum, at rs. 1 14 per gall n

Red and White Lead—Red lead is a little lower in value that
before. White without alteration. Of the former about 500
cwt. have, we understand. been disposed of at Rs. 11 10.0 to
11-12.0 per cwt. We have heard of no sales in the later—but
the rate quoted is, we believe, obtainable for good qualities.
Cochineal—A sale has taken place, since ouri lost, of 2,0001b5,
at Rs. 3-6.0 per lb. Dealers; however, having for the time
supplied themselves, this price could not now be obtained.

In Saffron, bottles, corks, &c., we hear of no change in value,
and previous quotations for these articles are retained.
EASTERN PRODUCE

Cotton—The favourable accounts from home have occasioned a
further advance in the prices of Dollera and Oomrawuttee Cotton,
which may be quoted at from 4 to 5 rupees higher than last

month. Broach, Surat, Jumbooseir, and Bargee, severally remain
without change. Transactions hare been limited, and shipments
comparatively small.

Opium—This drug has risen since the departure of the last
mail, from Rs. 1,375 to Rs. 1,500 per chest—at which latter rate
we now fix our quotation.
In other articles of Eastern produce we have no changes in price
to notice, and no transactions to record.
Freights—There. has been little fluctuation since our last
in the rates of freight to Great Britain. The shipments of
produce has been limited, but as the amount of available
tonnage has been moderate, no. material decline has at any pe-
riod taken place. We may now quote the rates to London and
Liverpool at 31. 10s. to 31. 12s. 6d. per ton—to the Clyde, nomi-
nal, and to China 16 eupees per candy. The Berkshire and Em-
peror have been taken up for the conveyance of her Majesty's 2d
Queen's Royals to England, at the rate of 241. per man, and sail in
the course of the week.

MONEY MARKET.
Exchange—On England has been tolerably steady since the de-
parture of the last mail, and may now be quoted at Is. 100. to
Is. 10Id. for six months, and Is. 9id. for 30 days' bills—the stone
rates as were current on the 27th ult. On Calcutta the rate is
1001 re.; on Madras 99i rs.; and on China 218 rs. per 100 dol-
lars—all at 60 days' sight.
Banks—The shares of the Bombay Bank may be quoted at 52
per cent, premium, and those of the Oriental Bank at 44, both
for old and new shares. A new establishment, under the desig-
nation of the "Commercial Bank," is in course of organisation in
Bombay.

Freights—To London, 3/ 10s. to 31. 12s. 7d. ;to Liverpool,
31. 10s. to 31. 12s. 6d.; to Clyde, 31. 15s. nominal ; to China, 16rs

(From the Calcutta Overland Price Current, Sept. 6.)
The mail rid Bombay, with dates to the 7th July, came in on
the evening of the 17th ultimo, but as no material alteration had
taken place in the home markets, and the intelligence as regards
commercial matters was generally unimportant, operations here
were not at all affected thereby.

On the morning of the 2d we were somewhat surprised by the re-
ceipt of further accounts from home, via Bombay, several copies of
the London Mail having been forwarded by express by that route, in
the hope of anticipating the arrival of the Hineostan, which they
did by one day, the letters by that vessel not having been deli-
vered until the evening of the 3d ; the principal topics of interest
by this opportunity are the result of the July Indigo sale, and the
raising of their rate for remittances to this country by the Court
of Directors from is. 9d. to Is. 10d. 'per rupee, the former was
what was generally anticipated by parties who took the unprece-
dented extent of the sale, and the favourable accounts from this
which came to hand at the time, into consideration ; the latter was also
looked for, but has nevertheless caused a complete cessation of
Exchange operations here, it being still doubtful whether the Go-
vernment will raise their rate for advances or not; the general
opinion, however, appears to be that they will maintain the relative
difference in rates by an equivalent advance, although some parties
urge the large amount still available as likely to prevent this ; in the
present state ofour market, however, we cannot see any reason for
its having this effect, as there can be little doubt, were the
next Gazette to announce the Government rate being raised to
Is. 11d., that an almost equivalent advance would be immediately
established in private operations, and shipments accordingly still go
forward through the export warehouse to nearly if not quite their
former extent.

LOur produce market is not, generally speaking, animated; the
attention of most parties being still given almost exclusively to
sugar ; but there has nevertheless been a moderate amount of busi.
ness done in other articles, and prices of most are firm.
Almost every staple of import from Great Britain continues diffi.
cult of sale even at the low rates now current, there having as yet
been but very slight symptoms of the demand usually prevalent
at this season ; there can however be little doubt but that this
will shortly be experienced in a greater or less degree, as
after the present month the facilities for transport to the upper
provinces will be considerably decreased, and the annual Hindoo
festival of the Doorga Poorja, which commences on the sth
proximo, will put a stop to all business for nearly a fortnight.
Arrivals have again been light, and freights have accordingly ad.
vanced to our quotations.

BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.)
BENJAMIN r. DAVIES.—BILL DISCOUNTING.
The defendant, who is a milkman, on Saffron-hill, was
summoned to show cause why he did not pay a sum of 5/. 4s.
on a bill of exchange, on which judgment had been given
against him. The parties interested do a good deal of busi-
ness in small bill discounting.
The. defendant said he would not make any offer to pay on
the ground that the bill was a joint and several bill, signed
by two other persons against whom actions had been brought,
and who had given another bill for 251. for debt and costs,
10/. of.which had been paid.
The plaintiff said he had not taken any security.
Defendant—Mr. Buchanan, your attorney, knows thQfact.
The COMMISSIONER—Let him be sworn. (To Mr. Buchanin)
Did you ever sue Crispin or Brown on this bill.
Mr. Buchanan—l am not aware that I did. My client
tells me I did not; there might have been an arrangement
with Mr. Barnett Joseph.
Defendant—Yes, it was he who held the bill, and now,
after the other security is got, it is handed over to Mr.
Benjamin..
Defendant—Are you not aware that 10/. was paid?
COMMISSIONER—In short, do you know of the actions
against Brown and Crispin, or defendant.
Mr. Buchanan—l am sure 1 don't know. My client tells
me we did not bring an action against defennant.
Defendant—But you know you did against Brown and
Crispin.
Mr. Buchannan—What has that to do with it, your name
is Davis. lam only able to speak to the action against you ;
my memory does not serve me as to other actions ; if you
had given me notice to produce the papers in other suits I
would have done so. -
The CorsussnaxEu—Don't you know these parties have
been sued?.. •
Mr. Buchanan—l believe not ;I am attorney to Dir.
Joseph, and he says no. •
' The defendant said he had lost a situation in the Post-
office, through being harassed on the Bill.
Mr. Joseph was examined, he indorsed the bill to plaintiff,
and had not paid it.
The Defendant—Do you not discount for Mr. Buchanan?
—No; did not recollect ever given money on a bill to Mr.
B.'S clerk on a Saturday, except for a bill of costs perhaps.
Mr. Buchanan—ln that part of the case you go a long
way round to get rid of this judgment.
The Commissioner directed the papers in the actions to be
brought.
Dlr. Buchanan sent for them, and said actions had been
thecommencedclaim.
The defendant having sworn' that he did not earn more
than 12s. a week, the Learned Counsel said he would not
make any order for payment. -

BOWS-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Boswell, re/ieving officer of Cleveland-street Work-
house, appeared before Mr. Jardine, to prefer a charge of
assault. The prisoner, a man about thirty years of age, had
been sev;i times an inmate of the house, but from his an-
willin. .to work had been subjected to punishment. On
this .. nt Mr.• Bos . 1 thought him unfit to be again an
inmate, and refused hi.' dmittance. This gave the prisoner
occasion to execute some threats he had vented so late as
yesterday ; he retired a little way backwards from the
office and hurled a stone through the window, which, from
its passing close to his head, must have been aimed at Mr.
Boswell ; there are, besides, no stones to be picked up in

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. '
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 4,000
bales, with a dull market, but without any alteration in
prices ; 200 bales Surat went at 3d. to 4%d., and 200 Per-
nam at 6%d. to 7d. per lb. Shares continued depressed. but
there was an improvement in a few lines. Grand Junction
rose 20/.
The accounts received this morning from the principal
country markets for railway shares, are of a more satisfactory
nature than was fairly to be anticipated, after the strong
efforts of the 7'imes to create alarm in the minds of the public
generally on the subject of new railways. That the Times
has lost a considerable degree of its hitherto really powerful
influence, is a matter of no doubt among the mercantile,
and the banking interests for unnecessarily, as it is
freely thought, stigmatising both classes with affording
undue assistance to the transactions in shares. We are not,
nor never were, the advocates of what are termed the " bubble
schemes" of the day. The Times puts all projects, good or
bad, into one boat, and w ould, under the insidious plea of
•
warning the public : against further dealings in scrip, swamp
the whole. As We have on a previous occasion noticed
the deposits are paid upon all, or very nearly so, of
the new projects that will be ready to be brought
before Parliament in the next session of Parliament.
To keep up the cry of an anticipated panic is mere childish-
ness, and the result of wounded vanity.
That there is a hitch in the Cabinet seems pretty certain,
and such is the report of yesterday and to-day in City cit.-
etts, not unfrequently 'in possession of early informa-
Gat upon matters which relate to the affairs t
State. It is said the Duke wants to put Lord Ellen.
borough into some office or other, but Sir. Robert Peel
does. not wish to have him at any price. The Duke is
is not so averse as many people think to go with the Premier
in a further alteration of the corn-laws now. This is the
general statement in Mark-lane at least, where it is earnestly
desired that, if an Order in Council is to be issued for the free
importation of foreign bread-stuffs to make up for the deli-
dent crop, it may be done as soon as possible'; atliewehoilrne
doubts exist upon the matter, the operations itl
trade must be checked.

The public sale of Railway Shares is in progress at the
Hall of Commerce, and the attendance is pretty
full: The biddings are not by any means brisk,
but it is• evident that partied are anxious to
come in at lower rates for all bond fide
projects. The auctioneer confirmed our accounts
of the state,of the country markets. The demand for the
greater proportion of the Railway Scrips has rallied a frac-
tion. Grand Junctions at Liverpool rose 201. a share yes-
terday. Here there have been none offered. The official list
will supply prices.
