An attempt by the government to disband some of the troops whose insubordinate conduct had excited strong suspicions of their fidelity, had provoked some rather alarming demonstrations. A subsidiary vessels cli unk into comparative insig- force had been oflered to. the Queen Mother, by the government of India, which 1 was sup) posed would be accepted by her and her brother, the fariieet. A second attempt had been made on the lite of Rajah Gholab Sing, by firing at him while returmng on bis elephant trom visiting the Rance and Prime ave.

The fort of At- tock hed tullen into his hands. The question of Wat or peace continued to engross the public atten- ton. Sir Henry Hurdinge seems determed to avoid | the imputation of preeipitaney. In this, his poliey is not only a striking contrast to the headlong rash- ness of his predecessor, but he thus baffles every at- tempt to arrive at even a probable conclusion as to the course he will ultimately pursue. The Governor General’s visit to the Upper Provinces, and the ap- proaching change in the positions occupied by the regiments on the North West fronuer, are waited | for as likely to utlord some clue to the ultimate deci- | sion of this eventful question. A bridge of boats | had been ordered up to Ferozepore. This circum- stance had induced an inference that a demonstra- tion is to be made against Jewahir Singh, and the {Khalsa troops. In other States changes are spoken of, which may lead to important results. It is, however, necessary to guard against precipitate con- | clusions. There seems to be so little known that | conjecture has ample room doremployment ; and in such a society as that of India, conclusions are fre- | quently drawn from rumors which have no origin | in truth; and these are abandoned to make room | for others, equally void of evidence. | Gaming appears to have been indulged by some of the officers of our Bengal army to an extent which has at length called for the interference of the Gov- ernor General. A gambling transaction, wherein a voung officer had been stripped of nearly the whole of a considerable property which had just been be- queathed to him, had been brought under his Excel- | Jeney’s notice, and a general order was issued, | which is likely to repress the ruinous and disgrace- ful practice. 3 ik Steam was every day becoming more available in | India. The Amherst packet vessel, which had for some time past been employed by government to run between Calcutta and America, Was to be sold, and the Honorable Company’s steamers Tenasserim and Enterprise, were to be employed in running, once a | month, to and from the Eastern ports in the Bay of Bengal. This will bee great convenience to those | residing in Arracan, Kyook phioo, &c. Railway conveyance, both for passengers and | goods, is also about to be introduced into India, un- der auspices which are most promising of advan- tage, both to the public and the proprietors. The ak on of the East India Railway Company has jast been published at Calcutta. It is impossible to appreciate the rapid improvement which the com- pletion of the measure will work in the condition, moral and temporal, of all the people of India. Most | sincerely must all lovers of the human race pray for he speedy accomplishment of this important pro- ect. : China. ‘The news from China comes down to the 12th ot | June.

The neces- volice establishment had become increas- “ity for ngly menifest; and adequate protection to persons | sd property cannot be atlorded without a properly constituted police foree, which must be paid by the mahabitants. The dissatisfaction will be temporary and partial; the benefits will endure and will, even- | tually be universally approved. Markets.

E, Sept. 23.—Cotton—Since the receipt of the ad- | rom the United States, by the Hibernia steomer, on Tu last, our market relapsed into a dull state, | speculations have entirely withdrawn from the field, an although the accounts from the manufacturing districts | | are, upon the whole, of u satisfactory tenor, the demand | from the trade has been on a most restricted scale. Some holders, desirous of realizing, have even submitted to a | decline of from 1 to 2f, but this is merely partial, as the sales made at this reduction were too trifling to be look ed upon as establishing a rea! depreciation, and cannot, therefore, be taken as a criterion. Notwithstanding the | flatness in business luring the past week, and the appa- parent decline, we do not consider that our quotations have undergone any change from preceding rates. Yes | terday at the opening, the aspect of the market was the same as at the close of lust week, and the sales were to a very moderate extent, without the slightest symptoms of an immediate revival in the buying. Tne following were the sales effected from 15th to 25 Sept: 1119 bales ew Orleans, dp, {53 to 85 ; 995 do Mobije, dp, 53 to 81 ; | 1226 do Upland, f93 to 77 ; 96 do Guadaloupe, 175 , 25 do Cayenne, 190 ; total, 3423 bales. ‘The imports during the same period amount to—From New York, 2957 bales ; do | other ports, 252 bales ; total, 3202 bales.

According to that there is a combination of the London newspa- per press and the railroad speculators for the purpose | of keeping up and stimulating the mania. This in- telligence relative to the bad crops in England may have the effect of raising the price of breadstutis in this country, but we are afraid, if breadstutfs be sup. plied by the northern States,that cotton will be more depreciated in consequence of that very fact. ‘The other items of interest which these paper’ bring us, is that in reference to music. Leopold de Meyer. the most extraordinary genius that evey appeared in Europe as an artist on the pianoforte, has arrived,and intends to appear at the Park Thea- tre ina week or ten days, and afterwards travel over this country. He has travelled all over Europe, both Christian and Mahomedan Europe,and has been considered the most extraordinary genius in his line; and now he comes to gather laurels in thé new world. He is one of the finest and most elegant looking men—a young man, t oo—that we have seen for a long time, and he was seen yesterday walking in Broadway—a perfect specimen of German grace- fulness and beauty. No doubt his presence in the country, and his career here, will give a new impulse to musical taste. Ole Bull created a furor and en- thusiasm with regard to the violin, and that is by no means so fashionable an instrument as the piano- forte. We are prepared to see Leopold de Meyer produce even a greater sensation, in his particular line, amongst all the fashionable and musical circles of this wide and extended country. Ovr Rexations at Home anp Anroap—Covurse oF THE ADMINISTRATION.—There is much anxiety already visible among men of all parties, regarding the probable course of conduct that will be pursued by the President and his cabinet during the ap- proaching session of Congress, and the party presses of both sides are hazarding opinions as to the stand that Mr. Polk will take on the various points of in- terest which “are new so important to the country. We have received intelligence from an authentic source at Washington, which gives us much infor- mation as to what it really will be. It is highly pro- | bable that in the message.to Congress, which will be delivered by Mr. Polk on the meeting of that body in the early part of December, that he will | firmly maintain the same high ground which he as- | sumed on the subject of our foreign relations in his inaugural address, and which caused so much ex- | citement and 80 many warm comments frem the political circles of Europe. Since that time, the excitement which prevailed regarding the annexa- tion of Texas, has completely subsided. Texas is ours, and all the mutterings and railings of Mexico Our government has received reports of two expeditions which were conducted by that hardy and gallant pioueer Captain Fremont, into Oregon, and the same individual has again st « d ona third one for California; in this last one the government has nothing to say, though the two first were under its auspices. Mr. Polk will doubtless be very firm in advocating the entire occupation of all the territory that lies between the degrees of 42 and 54 40, and which this country has an undoubted | right to. As regards the home policy that will be pursued, | we are informed from the same source, that the President will undoubtedly advocate a modification | of the present tariff, and that he will probably re- | commend some measure similar to the Compromise Act of 1832, which consisted in placing everything on the same footing, and in charging a twenty per cent ad valorem duty. There is one thing to be borne in mind, however, that the recommendation of the President on this matter, goes but for what it is worth with the House of Representatives, who have the legislating of this matter in their own hands. There will also be some plan recommended as to the keeping of the finances of the country, and a new sub-treasury law, differing, however, in many respects from the former one, may be brought forward. Whatever is done, one thing we may be | assured of—that the system of paper currency will be entirely exploded. A bankrupt law, to include banks and corporations, as well as individuals, | may also be mentioned. The cheap postage law | will also be touched on, and some action onit re- | commended. ‘These are a tew of the most prominent topics that will be discussed in his message; and what serves | much to strengthen them in every way, is the course that the late elections have taken in every part of | the country.

We left Liverpool on the 27th September, 1845, with nearly a hundred passengers, besides children, some of whom are very pretty ‘and have given us much entertainment by their pratile and infantile sports. We have among us a great variety of character, and nationsand creeds— lumber getters of Canada, planters of Carolina, ladies and gentleman for the inertens gentlemen of the navy, printers, tailors and Jews. Yet we have been all very harmonious, some amusing themselves with cards and others with chess. We have had very little music, which I am sorry for, for there are some excellent musicians among us, but I think it was the rolling more than the want atholic Bishop on_ board. from him in points of faith, sation with pleasure, and I think also with improve- ment, for he is both learned and eloquent in his dis- course, giving information on almost every subject. Theartily wish him well. From the time we left Liverpool, until Thursday the 2d of October, we i so powerful inits action as the builder intended, we made but moderate progress. On Thursday the masts was lost; not, I think, altogether by the vio- lence of the wind, but a sudden roll broke the eup- ports and the mast falling, snapt in two, over the side of the ship. ‘ The next day the wind became more favorable; then again it became adverse and increased. On Sunday mornizg betore daylight, probably about two o’clock, we were awakened in great terror by the sea pouring into our cabin, which is in the fore part of the ship. Three times I heard it come down | ingreat volume, and when I put my foot out of the | berth and found the water covered ay ancle, I | shrunk back and thought my last hour had come. But when lights were brought I found I had magni- fied the danger. The sea had washed over the ened, the water came down with less damage | Monday we had quite a tempest, yet happily without doing us further injury, than causing much pain from sea sickness. AsI did not sufler from this, I re- mained on deck the greater part of the day,looking at the gieat waves and watching the rolling of the ship, and thinking of the weakness of man and the frailty ot his works. However, a seaman who had had fear; he called it a mere number nine, and said he had passed in sufety through storms much greater, particularily once in the Bay of Biscay. From this time the wind subsided, and has been givicg us more or less aid every day. On Thursday the 9th we came within sight of Newfoundland, passing I should think, within ten miles, for we could easily have distinguished a man, had one been on the dreary coast. On Saturday our community was agitated by a shock, twice repeated. Upon examination, it seemed to have been caused by some derangement, and pa SU | of the screw. The extent of the damage could not be ascertained; but more than half yet remained, and favored by the wind, we got on very pleasantly, with a prospect of reaching New York on Monday Sunday was a beauttul clear day ; we had service, as had also the Catholics, but the captain did not give us asermon. This I re- roe the less, as on last Sunday it was quite inau- dible, owing I think to the captain compressing his lips too. tnnish; foron deck he is audible enough. On reaching the deck on Monday morning, we found the land Sloe by ; but: we could not tell what land it was, until the captain sent a boxt on shore, which returned with a person, who said he was both far- mer and fisherman, and who informed us tit the town before us was Nantucket. Then we gota sea- the coast, who undertook to guide usin safety. He said that in reaching our position, we had crossed Nantucket Shouls, passing through dangerous rocks, upon which we now saw the breakers making a great foam; butat breakfast, the captain intormed us, that we had saved five hours by coring this way. At lunch, the captain again made a speech, telling us that he had only coal tor sixteen hours, and that he should yut into Holmes’ Hole and other places for a supply, and at those places any who chose might leave. We were allin good humor, and applauded him loudly. A few only who had never been to sea hefore, said that the captain ought to have put into Boston on Sunday, when we were in lat. 4: For my part, | must, and ever shall speak, in the | highest terms of every one connected with the ship. | If blame rest any where, it should be with the Pur- ser, who, though very obliging, certainly did give as, for many days, bread both heavy and sour. At Holmes’ Hole, we gota supply of excellent coal; bata fewot our friends lett us, and we are now passing Long Island with a pleasant sun and sott air, that would drive all London raving and distrac- ted with joy.

Ihave said she wanted the powers of ima- gination so strongly possessed by Macbeth—no phantoms of the brain start to life before her—she sees ‘no air drawa daggers”—she hears no sound in that fearful hour but the owl's scream and the ericket’s cry—to her ‘the sleeping and the dead are but as pictures”— She sees no ghost whieh Macbeth’s prolific brain con- jures up before him—her nature is cold—her will is ob- durate—she is absorbed in oue dominant passion.

This National Drama, which was so succersful in the palmy days of the old Bowery, is now produced | with increased splendor and magnificence. The new | scenery is indeed most beautiful, and exceedingly appro- priate—while the acting is of a very superior character. | The plot abounds with wild and romantic incident, “hair breadth scapes,” patriotic sentiment and fearful | and novelsituations. J. R. Scott’s delineation of the In- dian Chief would alone rank him among the firat melo- | dramatic performers of the age. Mr, Milnoras the brave and heroic Putnam acquitted himself with credit, indeed the whole company merit great praise. The celebrated | drama of the “Mountain Drover” followed ‘Putnam,” in which Messrs. Cony and Blinchard and their wonder- ful dog “Hector” appeared. The performance of the great pantominists and this extraordinary animal must be seen in order tobe appreciated. The evening’s enter. | ‘ tainment concluded with the Scotch drama of “Wal lace,” in which J. R. Scott appeared as the hero. To- night “Putnam” is repeated, with other entertainments— another crowded house may therefore be expected.

He then adverted to the poets and musi- cians of the time of Chi the Second, and after rela- ting some original musical anocdotes, electrified the audience by his execution of that glorious old song— “Sally in our Alley” If we were to describe, even with the strictest fidelity, th thusiastic manner in which this song was received, we might be suspeciad of exaggeration by those who were not present. Shouts of “bravo,” “bravo,” resounded all over the house—a more delighted audience we neversaw.
