THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 3, 1842.

the Chinese in four different prisons, not far from the sea
side, almost opposite to Chimoa, and very severely
treated. We hope that her Majesty's ships of war will
be able to do something for their release. We have
heard nothing of the shipwrecked crew of the Nerbudda.

Her MAJESTY and Prince ALBERT landed at
Granton Pier at an early hour on Thursday, and
passed through Edinburgh, on her way to Dalkeith
Palace, at half-past nine. Great preparations had
been made for a national display on the occasion.
Galleries and booths had been erected on the line of
march ; the Provost and Magistrates had made every
arrangement to give her MAJESTY a hearty welcome
on entering her northern capital; but from some
strange mismanagement, the day which was
looked forward to with such interest, and
expected to be one of unmingled rejoicing, ended
in deep disappointment. By the advice, we sup-
pose, of her courtiers, her MAJESTY left the Pier
much earlier than was expected, the inhabitants were
taken completely by surprise ; nay, even the civic
authorities were kept altogether in the dark as to the
Royal movements ; but on the announcement of the
procession they assumed their official robes, sallied
forth to the barrier to present the keys of the ancient
city, and on arriving there learned, to their utter as-
tonishment, that the QUEEN had already passed. In
order, however, not to be altogether distanced, they
joined in the chase, drove as fast as the horses could
gallop, and after several desperate efforts to overtake '
the procession, they at last reached the Royal car-
riage in breathless haste, and received her .MAJESTY'S
gracious acknowledgments. We know not who is to
blame for this wanton affront to the citizens of Edin-
burgh. The Chief Magistrate, but the day before,
after an interview with two of her MAJESTY'S Mi-
nisters, officially announced that the QUEEN would be
prepared to adopt any arrangements as to her pro.
gress through the city, that would be most gratifying
to her loyal subjects ; yet, in defiance of this, the
procession starts at an early hour without their
knowledge, and hurries on to its destination,
allowing the Lord Provost, Dailies, Councillors,
and fifty other dignitaries, only one solitary glimpse of
her Majesty before sho reached Dalkeith Palace. All
accounts agree that the QUEEN looked well, and was
delighted with the enthusiastic congratulations of the
multitude in the streets, but viewed with amazement
the vast preparations made for her reception, while
nearly one half of the seats in the galleries were empty.
The result altogether, is to be regretted. It has
given great offence to the inhabitants, and such ex-
citement prevailed against the Duke ofBucCLEUCE, that
he found it necessary to have the protection of police
constables in passing through the city. The utmost
reparation, however, was to be made. A grand
procession was to take place this day, from Holy-
rood to the Castle, like that on the visit of
GEORGE IV., and a drawing-room at Dalkeith
Palace, on Monday; but, unfortunately, insults of
this kind are considered rather intended than acci-
dental, and are not soon forgotten.

We have received Madrid papers of the 26th ult
The following extract from the Eco del Comnrercio•
which gives the following details of the march of the
Spanish troops towards the frontiers of Portugal, is
the only point of interest :
Two companies have left Valmojado, to place them-
selves under the Commander of the line of Estremadura.

Colonel Saginito has received orders to march with his
squadron to Fort Lapicke ; another squadron is to leave
Ciudad Real, for the same destination.

General Mahy set out with his corps on the 21st.
The Commanders of the line at Andalusia and Estre-
madura are to act in concert with General Mahy, in
pursuit of the banditti and the smugglers.
The Journals of Barcelona are of the 20th. The
Llohregat had overflowed its banks and inundated a
great part of the province.

The ordinary Express has brought to hand the
Paris Papers of Thursday. Subjoined are extracts :
The temperature had considerably fallen in Paris.
The highest point to which it attained on Thursday was
62 of Fahrenheit.

The Court of Assizes of the Aveyron has just con-
demned a Polish refugee, named Thomas Ociepski, to
death, for the murder of one of his fellow countrymen.
A curious scene took place at the sitting of the Per-
manent Court Martial of Paris on Monday. The bayonet
of one of the sentinels in the body of the Court having
caught in the curtains which surround the King's bust,
a host of bats flew out. The sitting was suspended, as the
bats came from time to time almost in the faces of the
Judges, and a chase was commenced. In a short time
six of the poor bats were killed, and- the others sought
safety by flying out of the open windows.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
Very little business has been done in the funds this
morning, and the market is heavy, the political intelli-
gence from India being considered as unfavourable, while
commercial affairs would appear to have improved.
Consols are 92.3. 924 for Money, and 93 for the Ac-
count ; New Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 101 101* ;
India Bonds, 36; Exchequer Bills, 51 to 53 ; New, 49

In the Foreign Securities nothing has been done.
The quotation of Mexican is rather lower, being

Spanish are the only bonds in which bargains have
been made ; the Three per Cent. Stock at 20i; the Five

The improved statements given of commerce generally
are not without foundation. The amount of bullion is
also extremely satisfactory, therefore no probability
exists that the Bank of England will feel itself calk('

FOREIGN.
Only one subject of the slightest interest is treated
upon by our Paris Contemporaries. It is the Ordon-
nance of the King of the Belgians extending to the
wines and silks of Germany the advantages conceded
by the Belgians to those of France. Considerable
anger is manifested by some of the journals against
Belgium, for having thought herself at liberty to form
a commercial alliance with other countries, and to
protest against the principle of an exclusive alliance
with France.
MONET-TRADE-COMMEROE.
The estimated cost of erecting the ventilating
tower alone of the new Houses of Parliament will be
upwards of 20,0001.

The decrease in the home consumption of port
wine this year, as compared with that of last, is to the
extent of 324,660 gallons, being at the rate of 40 per
cent. Sherry and Spanish wines have fallen off
upwards of 64,000 gallons, and the Colonial or Cape
wines nearly nine per cent. The total comparative
decrease on all wines imported, has been 425,812
gallons.

In one of the largest mills of Manchester 900

very severely wounded, and two of the rioters in
attempting to escape were drowned ; ten others have
since been committed by the Magistrates.
The wholesale and retail sale of spirits at Kilrush,
scarcely amounts now to 1,2001. a year in that town,
though formerly averaging 30,0001.
NAVAL AND MILITAIZT,
At Gosport, on Friday, a private of the 6th Regi-
ment of Foot, William Davies, while on convict
guard, shot one of the keepers named Clasby, through
the head, mistaking him for a convict attempting to
escape. After examination by the Magistrate, he
was remanded till Thursday next.

LAW Azai
At Salford, true bills have been found against most
of the prisoners engaged in the riots, and at Ashton
88 prisoners have been taken into custody on the
same charge.
The trials of the York rioters commenced in that
city on Thursday. Two of the prisoners were ac-
quitted, but a number of others found guilty ; sen-
tence was deferred.

Matthew George White, was yesterday charged at
Bow-street with unlawfully obtaining, by means of a
false character, a situation as footman with Mr.
Latham, paymaster of Exchequer bills, residing at
Eltham. The case was proved against the prisoner,
and he was ordered to pay a fine of 201., and in de-
fault to be committed to hard labour for three months.

BARTHOLOAIEW FAIL—At twelve o'clock this day
the Lord Mayor, without any of the usual paraphernalia
of his office, and attended by only two or three of the
Civic officers, went through the necessary formula of
opening this once famous scene of fun and frolic. About
twelve gingerbread booths standing opposite to the main
entrance to St. Bartholomew's Igspital was all that in-
dicated the time and locality of the far-fumed
" Bartlemy." Comparatively few persons were present
in Cloth-fair, where his Lordshi went through the cere-
mony,p and on the whole those who so anxiously endea-
voured to do away with this fair may now reckon on
their wishes being consummated.
WARSAW, AUG. 23.—The Prince of Warsaw, Go-
vernor of the Kingdom of Poland, returned from St.'
Petersburgh the day before yesterday- In consequence
of the uncommonly great desertion of the recruits of this
year's levy, an imperial ordinance has been issued at the
instance of the Governor, which directs that every re-
cruit who in future levies
deserts into foreign countries,
shall, in addition to the regular period of service, serve
a year for every month that he remains away.
BERLIN, AUG. 22.—1 t is said that some Jews, lately
converted to Christianity, have received from a high
quarter a considerable sum of money,
to enable them to
especially assist in Palestine, and esp • iiy in Jerusalem, in con-
verting their brethren.
Her Majesty's Solicitor-General, Sir William Fol-
lett, and family, Mr. Sergeant Jones, and Sir W. Mon-
tague, embarked this morning at London-bridge wharf,
on board the favourite yacht- Menai,
Captain W. Phil-
lips, for Ostend. . .

OVERLAND MAIL
CHINA, INDIA, AND
AFFGHANISTAN.

The mail from India has arrived, and we have
papers and letters from Bombay. of the 19th of
July. The intelligence which they communi-
cate, although of considerable interest, is not of
a striking character.
The state of the war in Affghanistan continued
to be the subject of warm discussion through-
out India, and the most conflicting -rumours
were in circulation as to the decision of the Go-
vernor-General. While the opponents of the fu-
ture campaign asserted that Lord Ellenberough
had• adopted - the decision of immediately •with-
drawing the British troops from that country,
there were others, who, in the absence of all
official orders, maintained that such withdrawal
at this conjuncture was calculated to inflict a
most serious injury on the supremacy of Great
Britain, and that the arrangements made by the
Supreme Government led rather to the inference
that it was intended to use the most determined
measures for obliging the refractory Affghans to
enter into satisfactory --terms. Of those mea-
sures, one was the formation of " a large army
of reserve" in the district of Sirhind, under the
command of Sir Jasper Nicoll. The name given
to this force, which was ordered to amount to
:20,000 men, together with the locality selected
for its immediate assembling, in the neighbour-
hood of the Sikh country, and the appointment
of the Commander-in-Chief to be its General,
led to the supposition that it was not intended
merely to protect the retirement of the British
troops from the banks of the Indus, but to aid
their future operations in Affghanistan.
Another of those measures was the collection
of beasts of burden, which were to. be sent to
General Pollock, who still remained with his
troops at Jellalabad. A body of the Sikh troops,
• amounting to 7,000 men, had also arrived at J el-
lalabad, which position they are described as
anxious to maintain against the Affghans, even
if the British be withdrawn.
The negotiations, which were some time ago
regarded as calculated to bring about a settle-
ment with some parties of the Affghans, having
terminated without any favourable result, it can-
not be supposed that the British troops, amount- •
ing now to 25,000 men, and fully capable of re-
storing our character in Central Asia, are now
to sneak out of the country, with :an exulting
and insolent foe at their heels. The army already
in Affghanistan is sufficiently strong for every
purpose; and the question is, whether this army
shall advance on the capital and settle the
country, and return leisurely and honourably, or
make us the laughingstock of Asia, by a pre-
cipitate and dishonourable retreat, or, m other
words, whether the means of locomotion, which '
must be provided in any case, shall be used fbr
an advancement or retirement.
The plan for the next campaign, now in a state
of preparation, is said to have been arranged by
the Duke of ellington in England, and will be
to the end of having not only an effective army
of reserve in case of any future reverses, but at
the present moment of concentrating all the
troops in Affghanistan in proper positions until
the opportune time arrive of a simultaneous ad-
vance on Caubul of the divisions under Gen. Pol-
lock from Jellalabad, and of Gen. Nott with his
division from Caudahar. The caution and reserve
with which the final determination of the Su-
preme Government is kept secret, and the ab-
sence of all public documents on the subject,
had thrown an air of mystery over the matter
which was favourable to the conjectures on both
sides.

In the mean time events of varied importance
have occurred in Affghauistan. The fort of
Khelat-i-Ghilzie has been evacuated in conse-
quence of the concentration of General Notes
division at Candahar. The Affghans, however,
prior to the execution of that order, attacked the
former place in considerable force on the morn-
ing of the 21st of May ; they were, as stated in
the accounts of last month, repulsed with consi-
derable loss. The official despatches published
by the Governor-General at Allahabad on the
2d of July represent the conduct of Captain
J. H. Craigie and his troops as worthy of the
highest praise. There is also in the despatch of
that officer a soldier-like simplicity of style
which contrasts strongly with other highly in-
flated documents.
Official details have been published of the at-
tempt made by Akbar Khan, chief of Zeminda-
wur, at the bead of 3,000 men, andin conjunction
with the rebel force under Prince Suftur Jung,
the fourth son of Shah Soojah, and Atta Ma-
homed, to take the city of Candahar by surprise
during the absence of Colonel Wymer, detached
with a large force into the Ghilzee province.
On their appearance near the city on the 29th of
May, General Nott sallied out at the head of a
number of his remaining troops, and soon routed
them completely. Prince Suftur Jung, having
been deserted by his followers, had subsequently
surrendered himself.
There were letters received from the army at
Candahar, which comment strongly on the im-

policy of abandoning the countrW and of which
some, written by persons *hose opinion is of
high value, maintained that the tbrce under
General Nott was fully adequate to advance
even to the gates of Caubul.
From Jellalabad accounts are conflicting of the
state of the troops, some exaggerating their
want of comforts and the preValence of sickness.
On the other side, the fact is known, that in-
stead of retiring, General Pollock had sent out
a detachment to attack some forts ten miles to

the southward. Unanimity and good feeling
continued to animate all the troops there, and a
strong desire was exhibited for going forward
to Caubul, in order to avenge their slaughtered
countrymen, and to wipe out the stain from the
honour of the British Indian army.
The Affghans were divided among themselves,
some being eager for forming conventions and
terms of amity with the British. The delays in
the movement towards Caubul, since the passage
of the Khyber defiles by General Pollock's
force, had proved rather advantageous to Akbar
Khan, who having placed his British prisoners
in safe custody at some distance from Caubul,
proceeded to attack the Bala ilissar, in which
Futteh proceeded_
the third son of Shah Soojah,
who is looked upon as attached to the alliance
with the British, had defended himself and
his father's treasures with ability. The re-
port of money being collected in the Bala
Hissar, roused the cupidity of Akbar Khan
and his followers ; they, -therefore, laid siege
to that fort, and completed a large mine
under one of the bastions, which they blew
up with such 'want of skill as to kill numbers of
their own men. The Arabs, or best soldiers in
the service of Futteh Jung, being alarmed for

ieir families, of which the.cdreade-d the slaugh.

ter from the murderous propensities of Ak oar
Khan and his partisans, and terrified by the news
that the British had blown up the fortifications
of Khelat-i-Ghilzee, prior to their final retreat
from the country, induced their young Sovereign
However much against his will, to surrender

imsell and his kOrt and his treasures to the

tinder mercies of the notorious Akhar, who
was afterwards said to have been appointed
Vizier. This success, which was by some
considered as likely to prove ultimately disad-
vantageous to Ak bar Khan, bad, at first, ex-
cited some alarm among the friends of the
British, and rendered the demand for the adop-
tion of decided measures within a short time
imperative. Akbar's adherents would not, it
was supposed, long adhere to him, if they had
no prospect of plunder. The great cause of the
past delay was said to be the want of camels,
and an eager search had been instituted for those
animals in the north-west of India, for the ser-
vice of General Pollock's division, for it was ad-
mitted that there was no deficiency of them in
the division under General Nott. The continual
outcry for thousands of camels was said by some
critics to be rather a bugbear in a country where.
numbers of bullocks and a hardy breed ofhorses
can be easily procured.

The conduCt of the Governor-General, who
maintained his own secret to the last, or only
intrusted it in a strictly confidential manner to
thc heads of the various departments, has given
satisfaction to many, who did not hesitate to ob-
ject to the clamour which a few were eager to
raise against the progress of the armies. The
Governor General had ordered the Incorpora-
tion of the levies raised for Shah Soojah into the
army of Bengal.
The 19. test letters from Jellalabad, to the 26th
of June, and to which our Correspondent
alludes in his postscript, represented the troops
as on the best terms with the natives, who fur-
nished all sorts of supplies. The detachment
sent to the southward had received a promise of
having 32,000 rupees, buried by Captain Ferris
during the retreat of last year, and which the
natives had discovered, made good to that officer.
There were strange rumours current then
among the WalneeS near Jellalabad; one of
which was, that Akbar Khan having been per-
suaded by F9tteli Jung to enter the Bala Hissar,
