REGULATIONS.

The Cargo of each Vessel from any Foreign Port entering
and using any of the said Docks or Basins, shall be received,
weighed, and loaded off, by one set of Porters only, who shall
be in the employ, and under the direction and orders, of one
of the authorised Master Porters.
The Master Porters are required to act, as far as practicable,
in regular rotation.
Every Master Porter, upon receiving Goods from any Vessel,
is required to give immediate notice to the owner or consignee
of the goods, and to proceed, without delay, in weighing and
loading off the same, unless the Owner or Consignee of the
Goods shall give notice to such Master Porter that the same
Goods, or any part thereof, are to remain on the Quay ; and
all Goods shall be loaded off, and removed from, the Quay
within 48 hours next after the time in which the same shall have
been landed.
And in case such Goods shall not have been removed, as
aforesaid, the Dock Trustees may warehouse the same in any
Warehouse, whether belonging to the Trustees or not, and
such Goods may be detained in such Warehouse, as security
for all expenses payable to the Master Porters, and for all
rents, rates, and expenses, payable to the Trustees, or to the
Owner of the Warehouse in respect of such Goods,
and for the
payment of the Freight of such Goods, upon notice to detain
the same for such Freight.
Every Master Porter, after receiving Goods from any Vessel,
is required to receive, weigh, and load off, all the Goods from
such Vessel.
Every Owner or Consignee of the entire Cargo of any Vessel
may employ such Master Porter as he may think proper, for
the purpose of receiving, weighing, and loading off, the dug()
of such Vessel.

FOREIGN

AND COLONIAL.

ARRIVAL OF THE BRITANNIA

At four o'clock on Wednesday morning the steam-
allip Britannia, Captain Hewitt, arrived in the Mersey,
after a fine passage from Boston of fourteen, and from
Halifax of twelve days.
The mails of the 15th, to New York brought no later in-
telligence of interest from Gereral Taylor's army. A
serious riot is stated to have broken out among some
Irish volunteers in the Georgia regiment. An Irish com-
pany from Savannah (the Jasper Greens) was incorpora-
ted ii,to this regiment, and it is probable that there were
some exasperating circumstances connected with the out-
break, as all the reports from the regiment hitherto show
that the Savannah company have deported themselves
quietly. Disgraceful riots had also taken place among
the volunteers at Burita, arising from a feud existing be-
tween an Irish Company and two of the Georgian corps.
The affair took place on board of a steam-boat which was
anchored near the shore. Guns, swords, and bayonets
were used with reckless violence. The colonel of a regi-
ment of Illinois volunteers, who, at the head of two of
his companies, attempted to quell the disturbance, was

wounded, and his men were driven back, when at length
the rioters submitted, and a considerable number of men
had been either killed or wounded. _ _

Another explosion took place on board the steamer Ex-

September. One of the firemen and two passengers were
killed. The disaster was caused by the water getting too
low in the boiler. _ _ .

ARRIVAL OF THE BOMBAY

MAIL

By Lieutenant Waghorn's extraordinary express, viii
Trieste, dispatches were received on Saturday from Bom-
bay to the 27th of August. _

The rainy season had not then terminat d, and until the
return of the fine weather nothing of an extraordinary na-
ture was apprehended. The monsoon had been most
favourable in all parts of India, and the people engaged in
agricultural pursuits were contented.
The Sikh Government was in a tottering state, for the
Queen-Mother and her paramour, the Wuzeer, Loll
Singh, had no hold on the affections of the people. On
the contrary, those abandoned characters were looked
upon as traitors to their country, and the opportunity of
the withdrawal of the British army of occupation was

awaited by the Khalsees and other fanatics, in order to
avenge their wrongs on the present heads of tie Lahore
Government. The British authorities were not idle in
making preparation for the approaching convulsion in the
Sikh territory. Regiments were forming at Ferez?pore
and Umballa, for the purpose of absorbing some of the
best of the disbanded Sikh soldiers. An army was also to
be ready on the Sutlej and Beas to protect the British
frontiers,and in case of necessity to put down the Sikh revo-
lution. Lords liardinge and Gough were at Simla. Gholah
Singh is reported to be in a very unsatisfactory state, not
only on account of the turbulent chiefs over whom he ob-
tained the rule, by advancing large sums of money last
March, but also from his own intrigues, which prevent
Lim from conforming with the promises of the treaty. It
was said that several British officers had been murdered
in his territory, and by his instigation, but the stor:
sufficiently authenticated to b 6 implicitly relied on
Sikh province of Moulton is still at war with the I.Vuzeer
Lall Singh, and the Mahommedan &fief of that fertile
district has been victorious in some rencontres with the

Sikh troups.
Scinde is tranquil, and with the prospect of an abundant
harvest. The cholera, after having ravaged Kurrachee
and Hyderabad, was attacking the villages along the
Indus. There was some sickness at ,Sukkur, which
caused the removal of her Majesty's 17th Regiment to
the sea coast.

There was a rumour circulated of the speedy retirement
from Scinde of Sir Charles Napier, whose health is de-
scribed as seriously affected by the climate. Five regi-
ments were, it was said, to be removed from Scinde as
soon as the fine weather set in. The
.probability existed,
however, of the occupation by the British of the city of
Moulton, which. from its locality, would form an excellent
emporium for British goods, and a corresponding capital
for the western part of India, in some degree resembling
Calcut a in the eastern division.

Ih Cabul an attempt has been made to enlist Dost Ma-
homed in another plot against the British. The agent in
this scheme had come from Persia, but the old Dost was
too wary to expose himself again to the chances of a con-
flict with the British. particularly after the recent suc-
cesses at Lahore. His son, the notorious Ackbar Khan,
was not pleased with the pacific policy of his father, and
be wac eager to have an opportunity of regaining posses.
sion of Pesbawur and even of Cashmere. Intrigues and
counterplots were in full play at Cabul.
In the newly-acquired provinces of Jullunder and the
dooab of the Beas, the British troops have during six
months, been healthy. An attempt was made by the Bri-
tish resident at the Nizam's Court to arrange the pecu-
niary affairs of that country. Some refractory landhold-
ers have been compelled to give accounts of their demands,
and the lawless mercenaries, who have proved hitherto to
be such a curse to that state, have been disbanded or ex-
pelled from the Nizam's dominions.
The conquest of the Island of Bally, which is now at-
tempted by the Dutch, continues to be the source of much
observation at Singapore. It appears to have the tacit
assent of the British Government.

An alarm prevailed at Aden, iii the beginning of Au-
gust, in consequence of a threatened attack on that for-
tress by some Arab chiefs.

The money market in Bombay had decidedly improved,
and favourable expectations were entertained of the busi-
ness of the season which was just opening. Discounts
had been lowered, and exchange had fallen to Is. Ild. to
Is. lld d. per rupee. The market for British manufac-
turers was quiet, and cotton had declined from two to three
rupees per candy, with limited transactions. Freights
had slightly improved, and were last quoted at £2 10s. to
£2 15a. per ton to Liverpool. There are as yet no later
commercial advices from Calcutta.

A list of additions made during the present Pontificate
to the index of prohibited books, has just been posted on
the church-doors at Rome. . It includes Lamennais'
Commentary on the Gospels, and a Spanish History of
Freemasonry.
A Chinese, in his native costume, made hi; appearance
in the Palais Royal, in Paris, the other evening ; but he
was followed by such a gaping mob, that he was obliged

Ito take refuge in a cab: It was the first time that a
Chinaman had ever been seen in that capital. _ _

FRANCE.—The Duke de Montpensier and the Duke
d'Aumale left Paris for Spain at six o'clock on Monday
morning week, accompanied by a large train of secreta-
ries. medical men, aides-de-camp, &c. They would arrive
at Madrid on the sth instant, and the marriages are to be
celebrated on the 10th,

Incendiary fires continue to desolate France, and Bur-
gundy in particular. Seven villages of the district of
Morvand had been almost entirely consumed during the
last three weeks ; and, notwiths'anding the vigilance of
the police, it had been impossible to seize the incendia-
ries.

On Wednesday night, a serious riot took place in Paris
in consequence of the rise in the price of bread. A mob
broke into the bakers' shops, and disposed of all the
bread, and then broke the shop fronts and several of the
gas lamps. The municipal guard was called out, and the
rioters were not quelled until midnight.

PROTECTION TO BRITISH SUBJECTS AT MADEIRA.—
Repre,entations have been made to Lord Palmerston of

dispatch the Bulldog steam sloop-of-war, Captain Davis,
to that quarter, to correct and to prevent outrage. She
was to sail from Devon port on Saturday, and remain at
Madeira until her presence is deemed by the British con-
sul there no longer necessary ; and other men-of-war will
be requested to touch there after the Bulldog leaves.
Letters worthy of confidence have been received from
Tangier, stating that everybody at the Deira of Abed-el-
Kac' er is of opinion and declares aloud that, being con-
vinced of the impossibility of success, be has renounced

11 intention of invading Algeria

'lbis is seemingly con-

French ministerial pap-r, "it is incantestible that, the
war system followed in Algiers has proved efficient, and
procured the most desirable results—the discouragement
of our indefa!igable adversary."
MONTE VIDEO.-By the Russian brig Bustruys, which
arrived at Falmouth from Monte Video, after a remarka-
bly quick passage, on Wednesday, we have intelligence
from that city as late as the 27th July. Matters still
continued in an unsettled state, with little prospect of
amendment. Mr. Hood, the British consul, was absent
at Buenos Ayres, but the object of his mission had not
transpired. It seems to be pretty generally believed, that

!Jere wil

be no peace with

ntwittistancVng his media
He had even rejected a proposal for an exchanp

Government to General Mansilla, commanding the bat-
teries at San Lorenzo, on the Paranta, directing a suspen-
sion of hostilities, pending the negotiations of Mr. Hood
on behalf of the British Government, was on Sunday ex
hibited in the Underwriters'

'-room

tinct, that no hostile step is to be taken " against the
merchant vessels which remain at Corrientees or may be
returning, or against the Anglo-French vessels of war
which may go up or down the river." All the vessels,
indeed, are to be permitted to pass without molestation,
the only alternative mentioned being permission for the
general to defend himself if attacked.
DRAINAGE OF THE LAKE OF HAARLEM.—TWO more
-tic steam-engines are now being manufactured in
31 for this purpose. They are of a peculiar con-
Hitherto, the average consumption of fuel by
engines employed in draining land, has been 151bs. of
coal per net horse- power per hour, and, in many case-
even exceeding 20 to 25lbs. In the Let,
expenditure of fuel is reduced to 2Vbs. per net horse-power
per hour, or from less than one-sixth to one-tenth only
of the former amounts. In the economy of draining land
by mechanical means, this is as great an improvement on
the nid system, as is the modern system of railtv----
the ancient

Coraw•a

heater engine the

means of locomotion. The Nark performed
by this engine is unprecedented ; it is capable of dis-
charging 1,000,000 tons of water in 25,', hours. When the
three engines are established, and at work, they will dis-
charge.2,Boo,ooo tons of water in 24 hours; and as the
contents of the Lake of Haarlem (which covers a surface
of 70 square miles,) are estimated at 1,000,000,000 tors of
water, the whole, allowing for contingencies, will be
pumped out in 13 months—a feat in hydraulic engineering
totally without p irallel. The cost of the engines, buildings.
fuel, and workmen, to perform this operation, will he
£140,000 ; by the old system of engines, it would have ex-
ceeded £210,000; and by windmills, £32o,ooo—the latter
requiring four years to complete the work.
AMERICAN WHEAT AND POTATOE CROPS.—The
Genevese Traveller, in his letter received from New York,
by the Britannia, says :—" Our wheat crop, there is no
doubt, is very large, and it must, for the coming season,
depend upon your market to fix the price. If you do not
require our surplus, wheat and flour will be lower than
they now are in this country. The present price of flour
may be put at 4 62-100 dollars per barrel. This may be
considered a fair average price, rather stationary, with an
upward tendency. That tendency, however, is produced
by looking to your market, in the expectation of new
orders to purchase at advanced prices. The home market
of the United States, in my opinion, will not sustain flour
through the season at four-and-a-half dollars per barrel.
Our potato crop is suffering considerably with the same
disease that is proving such a scourage to Ireland, a species
of rot for which no preventative has yet been discovered.
Indeed, so far as I can learn, we are now as ignorant of
the cause of the disease as we were the first day of its ap-
pearance amongst us. But the loss of the potato crop
in this country is not such a disaster as a similar loss
would-be in Great Britain. Here, no families, except a
few foreign families of labourers in cities, pretend to live,
even chiefly, upon potatoes. Families of eight to twelve
persons rarely consume more than fifteen to twenty bushels
in a year."
