ne uovernor-tieneral has not been unmindful of the
utility of restoring the commerce of the Indus to the flourish-
ing state which it enjoyed, even so late as during the-reign of
Aurungzebee, and has made public his intention " to station
permanently a large British force of Europeans and natives
between the Sutledge and Murkunda," and also to facilitate
the navigation of the Indus and its tributary rivers, and to
improve the state of the roads between the Sutledge and the
Ganges and Jumna. A light-house was ordered to be erected
on Munora-point, in the neighbourhood of Kurrachee.
The removal of Major Outrun, to whose talents, activity,
and appropriate measures was due much of the tranquillity
that latterly prevailed in Scinde, was regarded as calculated
to produce a course of expensive operations. Her Majesty's
41st Regiment was about to embark for Europe from Kur-
rachee, for which purpose transports had been ordered from
Bombay.

There had been a heavy, fall of rain at Bombay on the 15th
of November, which unusual and unseasonable event had
caused• the cholera to rage among the natives for several
days. The health of the island was restored at the period of
the departure of the mail.

The burning within the year of the five merchant ships
from Bombay, which were stated publicly to have been
doomed, had produced a strict examination into the facts on
the part of the underwriters. Some traces of a conspiracy
fur the purpose had been discovered.

In the interior of India tranquillity prevailed, with the ex-
ception of the mountainous dirtricts of Bundelkund, to quiet
which there was a considerable force collecting in that di-
rection.

CHINA.
The news from China extends to the 13th of October. It
was said, that a clipper had brought news to a later date of
that month, that all was in statu quo while waiting for 'the
ratification of the treaty by the Queen, and that opium had
risen in price.

There is an observation made by our correspondent, in his
postscript, to which it may be proper to animadvert. It is
that the pillage and destruction committed in the vallies of
the mountains during the retreat from Cabul, and in the
dwellings of the most notorious robbers of Asia, and amidst
the scenes of the bloody treachery of last January. are not to
be exclusively attributed to the British troops. The Sikhs
were there also, and they had received too many lessons from
the Affghans not to feel satisfaction in the retaliation. * *

Tile horrible accusation of burning some wounded men by
setting fire to their clothes is said to be a gross exaggeration.

TRADE BETWEEN GREAT BRITAIN AND THE
UNITED STATES.

It is distinctly proved, by Mr. Tyler's confession, that the
American revenue from import duties has, from the opera-
tion of the higher tariff, declined during the last four months
of the late year no less than 15 and 4.loths per cent., com-
pared with its productiveness during the first eight months.
This is a remarkable fact ; and we hope that the statesmen
of America will not confound it with another, which they
will be too apt to treat in an analogical sense, in spite of the
very transparent anomaly which it may suggest to superficial
observers. The fact to which we allude is this—we copy it
from a New York journal, upon which, as regards commer-
cial matters, much reliance is placed :
" I❑ order to show the state of trade between the United
States and the kingdom of Great Britain, in relation to the
purchases of American produce by her, and the proportion
of her manufactures taken by the United States in payment,
we have compiled the following table, showing the quantities
and value of cotton exported from Great Britain in 10 years,
the proportion sent to the United States, and the quantity
of raw cotton imported from the United States for the ma-
nufacture of these goods.

l'he above table conveys an irrefragable proof that Ame-
rican manufactures want no protection. Their own inherent
vigour seems to have been sufficient to counteract the reduc-
tion of the duties upon im ports ; and this view of their theory
confirmed by the fact that the domestic mann-
' the states only amounted to some 5,000,000 dol-
protection was at the highest point, and
subsequent decade, they rose through a mercan-
.. storm such as no country, either old or new, ever expe-
rienced before, to 46,000,000 dollars !

FOREIGN NEGOCIATIONS.—We have reason to believe
that the Earl of Aberdeen has distinctly caused it to be made
known in the proper quarter, that no concession can be given
by the British to the French Government with regard to the
obligations imposed by the right-uf-search treaties of 1831
and 1833. The noble earl has, we are told, peremptorily
declined even to negotiate on the subject. We have also
reason to suppose, that Russia, Austria, and Prussia have
approved of the course taken by the British Government on
this occasion. Further, we understand that the French
Minister, who substantially holds by the international en-
gagements imposed by those treaties, proposes to calm the
opposition likely to be offered in both chambers to the right
of search by gradually diminishing the number of cruiser
licenses hitherto granted by his government. We have
likewise reason to believe, that the Spanish Regent calculates
to a certainty on passing in the existing Cortes, or in a new
chamber, should the present be dissolved, a modified tariff
bill, which, when carried into a law, will give to the importer
of British manufactures into Spain nearly the same advan-
tages that could be derived from a commercial treaty. Lastly,
we have reason to believe that negotiations are now going on
at Constantinople between the representatives of the four
ttlement of the Servian question.—
