French 5 per Cents.—Friday 70 f. 10 c.

The official Report on the murder of our country.
men, ARBUTHNOT and AMBIHSTIR, to which we
yesterday alluded, will be found among our extraes
from the American Papers. The decision of the
House of Representatives, on this foul transactor, is
honourable to the American chara:ter; but it vet
remains to be seen s4iat punishment is to be inflicted
on the murderer. In our view of the justice rec:prc-
cally due among Nations, a disavowal of the legal
act of a servant is nothing, if the sentence of the
law does not reach the offender.

The Report on the affairs of the United St'Ce,
Bank, alluded to in our extracts, is one of
length, occupying nine closely printed columns
the American Papers. From this Report we are lei
not only to infer that the bases and superstructure of
the Bank have been ill constructed ; but that there it
among the Americans, a miserable lack of honest
and integrity. They seem constitutionally, and by
education and habit, incapable of separating their in-
dividual tar-barrel, salt herring, and lumber petty de4l-
- from the management of public property. We
have among ourselves men who thrust themselves
and their connections into Parish Vestries, for the

purpose of preying on the public property ; but in
the 'management of the affairs of large Corporate
Bodies our affairs are better conducted.

We have received Madras Papers to the Sd of Oc-
tober.

The Governor General has issued a General Order
relating to the military operations so successfully
conducted against the late Peishwa. In this Order
the most ilatteri?g notice is taken of the distinguished
services of the following persons, during the cam-
paign :—The llon. Mountstuart Elphinstone, Brig.-
Gen. Murray, Brig.-Gen. Doveton, Brig.-Gen. Smith,

Brig.-Gen. Pritiler, Lieut.-Colones Boles, Deacons
Eldridge, Prother, Kennedy, Imloch, and M'Dowell,
and Major Jardine. The noble Marquis concludes
thus:—

" Were it pos-sible to particularize every officer
employed in the late operations against Bajee Roa,

in Council would have cause

to distinguish each by a sepatate tribute of applica-
tion. But as that is impossible, his Lordship in
Council must entreat them to accept collectively his
best thanks for the service which they have renderei
to the State."

Sir John Malcolm, with Bajee Row, the 2d Bom-
bay Grenadier battalion, and escorts, cavalry and in-
'fantry, of Madras troops, arrived at Madessor fn
the 7th ult. They were met by the 2d battalion
19th Bengal Infantry, which was to relieve the Born-
'bay corps, and accompany Bajee Row, *hose desti-
nation is said to be Benares, via either Delhi or Ma-
tra. The state of the country had rendered I.s
progress very slow, the, rains having Weis in great
quantity, and much heavier than had beenektlown in
that quarter for several years.

On the evening of the 28th of Julys a detachmet
of the Rajopotana force stormed and took, with little
loss, the town and outworks of Madhoorapoor, 63
