FOREIGN 4- COLONIAL IN7ELLIGEACI

ARRIVAL OF THE ORIENTAL-LATEST FROM

INDIA AND CHINA

We announced briefly in our last the arrival of the Ori-
ental at Malta, without bringing with her the September
mail, which, from some unexplained cause, had not ar-
rived at Suez. We have, therefore, two months' mail
now in arrear. By the steamer Hindostan, however,
which had been dispatched from Calcutta on the 10th of
August for Suez, touching at Madras, Ceylon, and Aden.
we have a supply of papers which no doubt comprise all
the material intelligence which the mail would have
brought us, although not quite to so late a date.
The news from Scinde are important. Further hostili-
ties have taken place, which have resulted in the entire
annihilation of the force of the fugitive Ameer Shere Ma-
homed. After a slight affair with Lieut. Anderson, which
cut off his means of recruiting in Beloochistan, the Ameer,
finding himself surrounded by the movements of Col.
Roberts in the north, and of Capt. Jacob on the desert,
turned upon the latter (the weakest), with about 8.000
men ; but his Beloorhes had not resolution enough to
stand—they broke and dispersed.
Previous to this, Col. Roberts had succeeded in cap-
turing Meer Shah Mabomed, and in dispersing his force.
Of the further operations, we have only disjointed ac-
counts.
Great sickness was said to prevail amongst the troops.
Affairs at Cebu] are unsettled, and intrigues are said to
oe going on against Dost Mahommed.
The Hur karu mentions a report that, early in the en-
suing cold weather, an army of observation, amounting
to 15.000, will be assembled nn tha Sikh frontier, under
the command of Sir Robert Dick. " Some attribute this
contemplated movement to the unsettled state of th Pun-
jaub, and others. again, to a rumoured confederation of
the Affghans, aided by the Persians, for the recovery of
Peahawur."
The accounts from China are highly satisfactory. Col.
Malcolm, who left Hone Kong on the Ist August, in the
Akhar, brought the ratification of the treaty of peace, the
result of which is a new Chinese tariff and regulations for
the carrying on of our commerce with that country, which
documents we give entire in our columns this day.
Sir Henry Pottinger hart announced his determination,
" by every means at his disposal, to see the provisions of
the commercial treaty fulfilled by all who choose to engage
in future in commerce with China, and that, in any case
where he may receive well-grounded representations from
her Majesty's consuls, or from the Chinese authorities,
that such provisions of the commercial treaty have been
evaded (or have been attempted to be so), he will adopt
the most stringent and decided mess •res azainst the of-
fending parties; and, where his present powers may not
fully authorize and sanction sorb measures as may seem
to him fitting, he will reepertfnlly trust that the leziala-
tur of Great Britain will hold him indemnified for adopt-
ing them."
The smuggling vessels late at Whampoa were leaving
the river, and H.M.S. Dido was stationed at Whampoa,
to assist in making the new trade regulations observed.
Meanwhile, precautions are being taken against the
future. !lone Kong is to_he strongly fortified.
. .

A proclamation, iscued hp the Hieh Commissioner
Keying:, announces that the treaty had been ratified, and
reen!atinns and tariffs aereed to, which tariffs are " to
take Pfr.ct with reference to the commerce with China of
all countries as well as of England."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

VICTORIA, SLILY 27

We have late letters from Canton which report that
business had been resumed under the new system, although
prices had not been much affected, the operation of the
change having been anticipated. A correspondent avers,
that unless permission be given to foreigners to erect
houses and godowns (and it would seem very unlikely to
be granted), the present system is but a perpetuation of
the Hong monopoly without the former general liability
for each member. He says the storage and packing of
teas and all other goods will be retained by the !Tongs.
and whilst under the Company's regime teas could he
shinned off at three tael= on original cost, including all
duties and expenses, yet by the best working of the new
system it cannot be accomplished under four tads.
By her Majesty's ship Vixen and the Anrlona we have
late letters from the North. At Amoy on the 25th of
July the market for British roods and Straits produce
was hut dull. Cotton twist, No. 18 to 26, 30 dole. per
pecul ; gray long cloths, 3 dols. 40 cents per piece ; rat-
tans, 5 dole.; pepper, 5 dole. ; Malwa opium, 800 dot,.
At Chnsan, on the 9th of July, opium. Patna. 680 dole.;
Malwa, 620 dole. British goods and Straits produce look-
ing down, but white skirtings were selling at 4 dollars ;
grays, 3 dole. 40 cents ; pelmet-. 61 to 7 11015. ; lead, 6 to
61 dole.; sandalwood, 7 to 9 dole. ; rice, 2 dole. ; rattans,
6 dole. There were ten merchant vessels lying in the
harbour of Chusan, and five in the Yang-tze-keang.
Total export of tea from Canton for the year ending
the 30th June. 47.727.746 lb.

Business in India appears to have assumed a more sa-
tisfactory shane. The demand for most British imports
is active. Freights from India have considerably ad-
vanced, and vessels for British ports are in great request.

CHINA.
From our Second Edition of Tuesday last.)

By the Overland, accounts have been received from
Hong Kong and Canton as late as the 26th July. A fire
had broken not at Canton, but by great exertions on the
part of the Chinese Governor and the English residents
and sailors. it was fortunately subdued without occasion-
ing much damage. The latest date from England was
April 6. A copy of the treaty brought home by Colonel
Malcolm is among the documents furnished, and em-
braces every apparent provision for a future amicable
understanding. As far as we can asc►rtain. the mer-
chants are highly satisfied with the treaty. Sir H. Pot-
tinzer had formally assumed the government of Hone
Kong on the 26th June; the city on the northern side of
the island being named after her Majesty, " Victoria."
A Legislative Council was appointed, magistrates and
other civil officers had been installed, and the whole pos-
session seems to show signs of rapid growth.
Mention is made of the loss of a vessel believed not
before to have been noticed, viz., of the Alemene, Capt.
Galbraith, from Bombay to China, lost on Ceram Laut.
The crew and a considerable part of the cargo were saved,
and taken first to Banda by the Dutch war schooner Argo.
The Spanish governor of the Philippine Islands arrived
out on the 11th June.
