The packet ship Northumberland, Captain Gns-
void, arrived yesterday afternoon from London and
Portsmouth. She sailed from the latter port on the
9th ult.
The news received by her Of highly Interesting
character 1t ID, indeed, important In many points
Of view
The most important piece of inteui gence to this
county, 10 the following announcement in the Lon
don Times Of the 7ih ult. -

The next in importance is the news from India OF
the probability Of another terrible battle with the
Slkhs. This intelligence may have an effect on the
relations betwe en- America and Great Britain
The affairs in India are in the most disastrous
condition for England. The Skhs appear to be too
powerful for the British, and it confidently expect
ed that the great battle which is supposed to have
been fought on the 2lst Of January, bstoee~ 10000
Ss and $1,000 British and ~atiUs troops, resulted
~ the defeat Of the latter.
The military d6p0b throughout England were
very active. 1t is said atlarge achievements are
Immediately to be sent to India. a4
The Uxited Service Gazette, Of the 7th ul., states
that the navy works in the dock yards had ceased,
in consequence, probably, Of the drafts upon the
army for India.
The London Times, Of the 9Th ult, says that the
unfavorable intelligence from New York, received
in Paris on Sunday last, not having reached Lon
don on Monday, the Paris Bourse, Influenced by
the nse of prices that took place in London on that
| day (Monday,) evinced marked tendency to i'm
prove, but the fear that when the intelligence in
question should have reached London, would cause
fall, checked the upward movement.
There has been an improvement In the prices Of
grain.
We have received no report ofthc cotton market
We learn, however, that there has been no change.
The London Times OF the 7th ult, contains long
article about tho United States. 1t takes the view
that the refusal on our part to leave the Oregon mat
ter to arbitration and the passage Of the notice reso-
lutions are ornens of war.
The accounts from Madrid are to the 18th Of Feb
rsry. No news Of consequences. The three per
cents closed At 500 for cash, and SIT at 90 days.
There appears to be no later intelligence of the
iusunecnsaary movements in Poland. On tho sub
ject Of the insunection the private letters Of the
LONDON Times say, "without going 20 far a. to an
tcibate that it will be successful, you may depend
upon its being fierce and sanguinay." 3f
