. Dispatches were received at the India Board
thiS morning, brought by the recent mail from
China and India. Dispatches were also brought
to other departments of the Government,
throughout which the greatest activity prevails.
It is expected that an extra Gazette will shortly
he published with the official accounts brought
by the mail.

The Park and Tower guns have been firing all
this afternoon, in celebration of the recent glori-
ous victories in Affghanistan, and of the ratifica-
tion of peace with China. The circumstance was
so unusual a one, that the Cockneys have been
running about in all directions, inquiring what
the guns were firing for.

By the Oriental, which arrived at Malta late at
night on the 12th inst., we learn that the Lord High
Commissioner of the lonian Islands has resigned.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The accounts from the Liverpool Cotton Market are
more favourable. Yesterday the sales increased to
7,000 bales, and a large business was done, comprising
700 bales of Surat, and 1,400 of American on specu-
lation. Common to middling American qualities were
131 per lb. higher; 1,500 bales Surat sold at 3jd.to 4d.,
and 1,100 bales Carthagena, 34d. to 4d. In Shares
there was some firmness—Paris and Rouen, Eastern
Counties, and Grand Junction, being in chief demand.
Eastern Counties, New, were 10i • Grand Junction,
181; Liverpool and Manchester, Quarter, 441; Bir-
mingham Quarter, 49; South. Western, 60; Paris
and Rouen, 23-1 • and South' Eastern, New, 181.
We shall not he able to state the effect our brilliant
successes in China and Affghanistan may have upon
the provincial and Scottish markets for British manu-
factures until towards the close of the week, though
in the City matters already wear a gayer appearance,
and the prospects for our shipping are considered better.
The increase in the revenue of the German Com-
mercial League has been from 21,000,000 florins in
1834 to 34,000,000 florins in 1841.
Our German accounts inform us that the English
purchasers of cattle are extending their operations in
various directions, resolved apparently, to find out the
best markets. At Itzehoe several of our countrymen
had attended, and took about 24 oxen as an experi-
ment.

The amount of Treasury bills outstanding in Hol-
landon the Ist instant was 5,606,4Q0 florins.
