      INDIA , AFFGHAN 1 STAN , AND CHINA . The extraordinary express in anticipation of the Indian mail to the 1 st of December , feas armed , and -we baye lette : s and papers to that data The intelligence -which they commanicate , although not of an exciting nature , is still highly interestins , in particular as tending to develops the policy abent to be adopted , not only in relation to the Affjihaus of Cabul , but also in regard to the inhabitants cf the districts bordering on ths rJTer Indus , and e ^ ta towarda the S : khs in ths Punjaub .

      The retnm of all the British troops thrensh the hostile de&ta of the Khybfcr was fulJy concluded on the 7 th of NoTember . TLe first division , uadei Ganeral Pcllock . Eueceed « ia in effecting their march "without much difiicnlly . The second , conunandt- *! by General M-Gaskill , was not eqnally fortunate , in consequence , ' as report statts . of tiie neglect of crowning the heights over a most dangerous part of the defile . The plunder-loving mountaineers were on the watch , and , finding this division feinbarrassfd in its ffiovtmfats near Ali Musj : d . during the night of the 3 rd , made an attack on the baggage , a considerable quantity of which is said to bavt faIL-n itito their hands Daring the sKrmishing , two oScers , L : euttcant Christie , of the Artillery . ar , 3 Edsipti Nicholson , of the 30 th Her-gH . Native In / antry , were killed , as well as up"vriTti 3 of one hundrrd S-p ^ 3 kfiifcd a nd wonnded , bessda a araD ^ si of camp ru lio-xs-rs . Two cannon -w ere

      a so taken by them , :. nt « -n& of thf gnns was rtrtaken oS the foliowiDc morsing , as well as the car' iagt of the other , the Kbyberr-es having found uiraas of conct- ^ ilicg the inn itself . With this exception nwtiutg of Ci > nseqa ^ Ece appears to hare oc ^ arred in the return of the troops from Jeilslabail to Pt ^ ba-wur , throngh th « racst dLEScalt deS ' .= = in Asia . The third division uudtr Gentrral ?» ott . which formed the last of the army , ; -. t Junircoi , th « froctr-er stction of the Siih territory , on the 6 " -h . This division , through its niirch frvim Candabir to Giaz- ! -e and to Cafenl . and thr » ugh the passes from Ci- « nl , his earsed for itself weU-m'iite <' . praise . R-sotr asst-rts tb 3 t feelings of j ^ locsy existed bet-ween t-so of the Commanders of the pallaut army , -who had by their cocjoined effjjts , re-es ^ aolisht-d tbe reputation of the Britisii anca in Cenirsl Asia ; the cause of those feelings -was not kno-wn to the public .

      The retreat of the British from Cihnl was preceded >> y the destruction of the celebrate fcaziar of that C 3 f-itsi . Its destruction is stated to Lave been canseJ by its having be * m the principal th ' -atre of the indignities ^ irith -which Use bf ^ y of the B . itisb En 7 oy . Sir "VT . H . Macna = ; bten , was nested , subsequent to his murder by Akbhar K '^ a n . This assassin ? -. j-rurs to hive Ir-si his innaeoce in tbst country , for the rcurdeT of ths Envoy and his trtscber / practissd to-srards the British troops in January last year having deprived him of all chines of being recognized as the chief , he had reiirtd to B-iik as if in disgrace The principal leaders of the tr . bts around Cabal have acknowled ^ i-d as their Sovereign Schah Poora , a son of Schah Suojah , for whose ss £ e it

      is stated that the Briash G- ncraU agreed to lsave the j Bala Hissar intact , in ordtr : o alloy him that citsdcl as a place of rtfnge in case cf danger Schah Poors is ' described as a youtb , sixteen years old , whose appearance and masters had gained him friends among the tribes . His fcrorhtr , Futtth Juac , -who setmei at first incline 1 to try his chance of remaining Sovereign of Cabul , ' had Tritbdrairn at the saise time as the Brnbb troops ' to the protection of the Company ' s dominions . It rusy j appear singular that two sons of Scbah S 3 'jab should now hold the government of the two chief places in Affgi srisUn , viz ., Sufter Jang at Gandafeai , and Shah Poors at CabuL Tee great preblem is , how long they , ' ¦ wi t hout any aid from abroad , will be able to maintain thir ^ r nnerrrjtd Position among the restless tribes .

      J-liaiabsd , Ali Aiu . « jid , and the other forts through the Khybtr , have been demolished , in order to prove to the Kfcyberrees that the British forces are fully able not onry to feTce their pass' ^ s . but to destroy their . strong bf-fds , and to retire at their own option back to India . Trophies of various kinds had besn hrousht . from Cfibul ; among tfcem v » n , more than twenty cannons ; one of the latter , a large brass gca , haying been found too unwieldy , was left on the ro 3 d by Gsjr . era ] M'Cssiili , bnt it ^ as afterwards burst by ' Csptain Thomas and Uie IrresuHrs under Mb orders who formed the rear guard . The destruction of this ; gun , which it was feared would ba replaced in triumph ; in Cabnl , tras considered as a great serviee , parti- ' culaily as it -wzs siid that Lord Ellenborough j had at one time expressed % desa * to have it in

      India . j The destruction of the Btzar at Cabnl , and of a siofqce built this year near it , as a special monument of the triumph of the AfFijlians over the ' - ' Infidels" of ! India , had prodcerd a strifes cf Ingnbrious homilies from certain journals there , the sympathies of which have been long enlisiefi in favcur of Akhbar K-ian and the Affghar . s . Tb : * e homilies , mixed up with the most ouirageous exaggerations cf what took piacc at j Istalif and during th « retreat , are likely to prodnce > echoes in places where the txsct rature of the Iscls is unknown . In India thry aj * locked npon as the pro- > dues of thosB extraoidinary patriots" who Iots to find every fault in the acts tit ti-sir own countrymen , ; and to praise the enemy as alone poasessing honour or honesty . i

      Tee British tr&'ps were under orders to march throngh the Sikh doinir- 'on in six brigades ; the firjt was to move on the 10 th of ^ uTember . Rannurs were current of the probability of etrtain wraiiEem ^ nts bei ng formed be tween the Skh S-jvereign Sbere Singh and the Governoi-Genersl , -Rhrrtby the former was to agree to accept the protection of the British G-ve » TJir . eiit , in order to preserve hereafter his throne and his life . The Governor-General , with his bo ^ j- ^ uard . bs'i reached Mniuchni&Jra en the 3-lib of November , in his prr > gTfss to Fcr zapore , where Jees were to pe given on the arrival of the troops from Cabul , and ncr which place it was txpecUd that inttrvitt'ys w ^ uld take place between his Lordship and the ilaharrrj , h , as Shere Singh ifl cemmonly called . The CoEisaatJtKr-iG Chief was also on his '" ¦ ay frora Simla to FtrcZ . » r » ore-Some apprthtnsion appeared to have been entt-rtained cf a collisic-n between th 9 Sikhs and the

      British troops near Peahawur , and positive orcers hid been issatd to pre-fe-t any British Bolditr or csap follower from tnt ^ riEg ar » y village ntzir the cairp , and from going to Pesh 3 wur . TsricFus commeni 3 cMitinned to be made respecting the order published by Lord Elleiiborougb declarim ; thai ill the Afghan chiefs detained in India should be lir-erated but requiring that ptiot to obtaining permissirn 40 ttturn vo their own country they sbouid attend his Lordship ' s levee at Fertzopore . ilany of those resjBur-era . who Oiiflly enough lo * k upon D < st Mahcmmfed as an ipjar > -d m » n , simply because be had bete

      dfeprired of his ill-gotten power bj the regulations of the British Government , affect to disoover in this order of Lord Ellsnboroajh a desire to insult a fulk-n { oe . The contrary setnis much more probable , f-r sp-vcia ! care was to be taken thai their wives ai : < i fanjflifcs should be conaneteA fnxh all respect to the frontiers cf Afixbonitfcin . whither they th' -rnselvcs were to be permitted to procteJ as soon as the British army had patJtd ' tbe Indus . This order contains also the remarkable stattm-nt that AkhbaT K"an , prioT to the late advance of the Bn ^ ish armiej" , had refused to » xchsnge the British prisoners in his custody even for his fatbtr and bis own faniily .

      The oid clamour , although mnch deadened , still existed for what is ca'led "the restoration of Diist Mahommfd to rhe throne . " This clamour , which is sai ^ to prooted froai pecciiar motives , is fooaiied upon & * ai-e view of facts ; Iot Dost Mohcmmed never was more than an Ame * r , or nitre Prince , holding power in the absence of the Kme , zn& was bnt partially recognised by even the tribes of Gsfcnl ; it was therefore suppraed that = ' the dnr ar ( levee ) cf the ( jjvernor-G-rnf-ral same tt . tmB -would be proposed fo » bis consifltrarion and acceptance , which would t ^ nd to induce Djtt ilahomme 4 to admit tLa toptrior rights of Schah Syfj-ihs ' s sees to the rule of Cs . iidahar , and C-ibul , aud thereby contribute towar < is esis . bilsb ; r-g som « degree of tranquillity in that country . It ifl f csreely to be prrsuBitd that tbe Govern or-General w ^ U at once , unhesitatingly , let loose into th&t country the strange being " who refust-d tv accept the terms originaiJy proposed by the British GoTernment , and whiw favourite son has rince : foliowed his exampie by tLe mest unexampled

      . The Goverrcr- General had not been unmindful of the utility - of restoring the commerce cf tbe Indus to the flocrishing stale which it enjoyed , even so late as duri . g the reign of AumniZibee , and has made public bis inU-o * i » n " to station permaneLtly a large British f-.-rce of Ecr ; : p ^» . i ! s and natives bit ween the Sutlcdge and Mnrinnda . " and siso to facilitate the navifatiaa of the Indus aj 34 it e tributary rivers , and to improve the state of tbe roses between the Sntledge and the Giages ami Jnnuia . A l : ght-houss was ordered to be erected on Mtujora-poini , in the neighbourhood of Kurraches .

      Tae polincal agencies established in ScindB appolsted by Lord Aucklaiid , bad been abruptly terminated by an order of the present Governor-General , who has placed the -whole management of those districts nn-ier the care cf General Sir Charles Xapiei * now com-Kian-JiEg the Bombay army stationed there , gftere had , according to rumour , been some farther stipulations nri , ed upon the Ameers of Bjderohsd , to which they teemed unwilling to assent Great activity prevailed in the communicationB between that General and tbe Governmani cf Bombay . The removal cf Major Outram , to -whose talents , activity , snd appropriate measures was dne mnch of the tranquillity that latterly prevailed in Ssinde , was regarded as calculated to produce a course of expensive operations . H « " Majesty's -tut , Regiment -was about to fcmbark for Europe from Kurrachee , for "which purpose transports had been ordered from Bombay .

      It was stated that tie GoTernor-General had some measures in contemplation which -were calculated to lessen the pleasure on the finances of the Indian Government in the txtraordinary expenditure . Tiere had keen a beavy fell of rain at Bombay on the 15 th of Ko-rember , ¦ which unnsnal and unseason able event had caused the cholera to rage among the natiTes for several d&ys . The health of the islands was restored at the period of the departure of the mail . The trarninjj wiihin ths year of the five merchant thips from Bombay , -which were stated publicly to hi . ve

      been doomed , had produced a strict examination into the facts on the part of the underwriters Some traces of a conspiracy lor the purpose had been discovered . In the interior of India tranqailHty prevailed , with the exception of tbe mountainous districts of Bundeikned , to quiet which thsj-e was a considerable force collecting in tiut direction .

      CHINA . The ne-ws from China extends to the 13 th of O-t It was said that a clipper had : brought news to a lat * i date of tbst month , that all -was in slaiu quo while waiting for the ratification of the treaty by the Queen , and that opium had risen in price . There is an observation mads by our correspondent , in his postscript , to which it may be proper to animadvert . It is that the pillage and destruction com

      mitted in the Tallies of the mountains during the retreat frcm Cabnl , and in the dwellings of the most notorious robbers of Asia , and amidst the sceneB of tbe bloody treachery of last January , ate not to be exclusively attributed to tbe British troops . The Sikhs were there also , and they had received too many lessons from the Affghans not to feel satisfaction in the retaliation . The horrible accusation of burning Bvrae wounded men by setting Sre to their clothes is said to be a gross exaggeration .

      their jusais could be seen . Finding themselves checked on the rigbt , they tried the left and rear of tha column , end annoyed tbeai wiqch , killing same efx . and wound , ing an officer and about eleven n »? n . However , the guns were safeiy deposit m camp at a quarter past ten o ' clock , and all the baggage , with tiw txeeption of that destroyed when the- tattle fell on the m-web . " The advance guard bad burnt the fort oJ Koodtrbux Kbaa , the Ttze ^ n chief , duri ig th& day , and tbe two 18-pounders received froai Majar General Nbtt wera bunt , tbus affording more cattle for the transport of the other guns ; ind ( -e » i but for this the captured guns could not have been taken oa the following day .

      " On the 15 th , the 1 st division , consisting of the 1 st and 2 nd bristuies , under Mr-jor-G ^ neral Pil-ock , marcb ^ d to KutturgurTg , whilst the 2 nd division , consjstiug of tuc 4 th brigade , with that portion of Major-Qeneral . Nott ' s foicd before mentioned , under Major-General M'CaskW , marched at a late hour to Leh Baba ( one march ) , thus scparatias ; tbe two divisions by one day's march , and General Notts column took up their ground at Tt z .-en the same day , having suffered in the pasa rather more than the 4 lh brigade , ciused in a great measure . I fancy , by their being unacquainted with the country and neglect In crowning the heights soon enough . The marches to Leh Biba . Kutturgung , and Jugdulluk , on the 15 th , 16 th , an 1 17 th , were accomplished with bu * little annoyance . The enemy

      followed up the rear-tjuard each day , and made several attempts upon the bai'aai ; e of tb . e 2 nd division , but without success . Tim 1 st division marched , through the Jupdulluk pass on the 17 th without firing a shot . On th « 18 th , however , when tho Snd division attempted it , the most decided attack yet evinced was sustained by them ; rarely bavo the Affghans shown more courage or during than wag ilispl : » > evl by the Ghifzif s on that day . Sword in band they more than once rushed towards our retiiimr parties , wljen recalled from the huigcts by tbe roar- ^ uard , but each time a s ' de 1 shot thrown from tbe ; , mis placed in a position 111 ost judiciously by B--gadi ( -r Monteath at the top <> f the pass , sent tbe Ghi ' zWs to the richt a 'out and saved our men . Notwithstanding tbeir obstinate attacks , and their following clo&e upon thereav guard fur five or six miles buyond tbe p . iss , I am happy to sav that the

      GLiiZfs had thair laVmor in vfiin . not a part cle of ba « - B » g-j falling into thmr hands , whilst their loss must have been considerable , for , besides m-iny that fell from our Fkirmisbing parties , several roua < l ( shotdashe- ' directly tnrouab the Gungdha behind which they were ensconced , killinR nutiiht > r 8 , —and our shell scattered many a group who little calculated on such unwelcome Visitors . Their attack . upon . M ; 'jur-Gaaeral JHoVt the following day was much Liner froru their thrashing on the 18 ch , but they managed t () annoy his fores greatly , showing them the wide rtift' ronce between the Kir . dohar and Pe&ha ^ tir routes to Cibul Every day from th's to Gunciumuci , where the three divisions arrive-. oh tbo 19 th , 20 th , and 21 st successive y ouv rear was foilpwed pretty closely by the Affghans-chiefly 111 expectation of plunder , which , 1 am glad to say , they ¦ we re riisiptxnnted in .

      " The divisions halted each om : day at G < in <' amuck , and arr ' ved at Jullalabtd Without any occurrence ( beyond Nutt ' a forces having ina'ie an exan ; p , o of some men in tiie Nemla valky ) f-n the 22 a , 23 1 , rtnd 2 oih .

      ANOTHER SERIOUS FIRE AT LIVERPOOL . Ou Thursday evening , about twenty minutes past fire o ' clock , a fire tvas discovered to have brokeii out , in the extensive premises of Messrs loster and Stewart , architects aini builders , Lawton-street , Liverpool , ihe building is situated on tho west side ot their large yard , which extends to Newington ; is in the form of a large warehouse of four stories high from the ground , and extends lengthwise , from north to south , apparently seventy to eighty yards , occupying , alioon immediately behind the houses and other buildups on tho east side of Law . oii-strvet , nearly the whole distance between the Arcade and Cropper-street . There was also the large yard oa the east , filled with logs of square

      timber on one side , and containing , on the other , a great f took of dral boar-is niouired on horses . To add to the danjitT , the premise and yard nre closelj bounded ou both t-idos by buildings , Lawton-street 011 tho woat , t . ' roppfer-strcet on the south . Luckily , however , the fire was confined almost wholly to the premises in which it broke out , and in which it was ibuud impossible to restrain its ravages . But , however , for the great and weH-divecied exc-rtjuns of the firr-policc , there is no doubt but it would have swept away a large breadth of valuable propertycrowing Bold-street in the sou'h-easterly direction . The a ' arm was received at the firestai ion about twenty minutes or a qmrvr bc'o resix , and engines , with a strong body of thefire-poJiC ' . ' aud others , were on the ground ia a few minutes . In a few roinuie ? no fewer than nine engines were pres . rt . In we believe less than half an hour after the five was

      discovered , the whole building , it may be said , was internally in a blazo . The roof soon fell in pieceme » J ; ami so rapid wi-ifhe combustion that in ten minutes after the fire alarm waa heard at the ( . op of Lord stret-t , tho wbokv atmosph vo in that direction was illunjina'cd , ai . d the flames rose over the height of the Lyceum and the Waterloo H-jrcl intervening , a height of occasionally sixty or seventy feet . Tnp pnucipal a . id direct inlet to approach ' . he fire was Fairclough-street , leading from Kii , e ! a « hstreet into LawroD-street , and terainatiBg almost at the immediate scene—there being onlv a row of smaller buildings on the other tide ot La * vtou-ttreet ( which is narrow ) and a yard , of no gv . ~ at breadth , between the spec ator and the fire . Tne only and main approach was by a ! gate or cart way on he south , and close to the office ot Messrs . Foster aud Stewart .

      The fire went ou with great rapidity , presenting from time to time varied but BtilL fearful appearances . Portions of tbe bnrk-work alto ftsll occasionally bnt rc . uc ' auily , shewing that the p : vn . ised wore as good as " brick-work and timber could make them . " Mr . Rushton , the poft ' ca magistrate , wai early ou the ! round , as well as the mayor and several official gentlemen . They all rendered tflkieut service . The inhabitants of part of Lawt * n-strect , and nearly al ! those in Croppfor-ptreet , in the immediate vicinity of the fire , xemoved their furniture in alarm at an early period , and much Joss and breakage necessarily occurred . The timber in the yard on the east of ihe building was , tor the . mo « t part , preserved . From this ( the Newingtnn ei . d ) the sceiio was throughout fearful and magnificent .

      About hslf-past six o ' clock a portion of the south gable end of the building fell v / ith a crash towards the Arcade , which had before been considered in danger , and at the bottom of which an engine was stationed . An alarm was given to the parties within a moment before by an inspector of police , otherwise the fatality would have been great . A mass of materials fell upon the roof of the Arcade , just above the Crescent ( covered with gla . « - ) , near tho lower end , and cru&hed in the roof ami cumuli * hed seven of the shops . Several persons , it was at first supposed , Were cru .-hed beneath the ruins , which extended aJoDg the Arcade from fifty to sixty feet of its length .

      Mr . Ru .-b . ton . Mr . Whiuy , and many other gentlemen , police-officers , < fer ; ., w > iro soon 011 the spot , and for a short time were heard the cries or a man beneath their ieet . All innved to work to remove the wreck with which he was covered , al'houtih a fearful portion of tho gable wall with the fire raging with . n was close to them , and in a few minutes they succeedtd in extrcaticg ihe poor maw . Mr . Whitty was most active in the i . ood work ; also firemen 191 and 137 . He was found n « t to be seriously injuroU , he haviug fallen und ? r a beam of the roof of tha Arcade , which broke off the otherwise fatal pressure of the materials . His came is William Wiibon , and he was carried home .

      All the shopkeepers . in the ; Arcade had moved their goods—some to a distance , others merely across , or \ nto adjoining yards—with , in bulky articles , much damage . Much of the' fine furniture , < feo ., in the lower shops , was left in the Crescent , under the glass roof , and muot have suffered injury from dust , water , &c . About half-past eight at night it might be said the fire had done its worst , That side of the premises next to Lawton-street presented then a most perilous appeaeance—so much soithat all but the tirenien were ordered out of the yard , the mayor and some few others excepted . By nine o ' clock all was got nnder , so far as farther danger was apprehended . It ia not ascertained how the fire originated , or in what particular part of the building . We have not learned the loss .

      Eight years ago the premises of Messrs . Foster and Stewart were the scene of a , similar devastation ; their extensive workshops , &c , having been consumed by fire , on the 20 th December , 1834 . On that occasion the destruction of the premises was complete in a few hours , and from what transpired afterwards , it appeared that that frightful corifiagraticn was not the reealt of accident . The value of the took belonging to Messrs . Forster aud Stewart's -workmen was not less than £ 2 , 000 ; to meet which a handsome subscription was raisocl .

      men contrived to save themselves in th « boat , and two were afterwards saved by the lifc-boac .

      Horrible Mukdkr a > d Suicide ix London . — Another 0 : these most appailing cases : occurred on Sxturday night , when a man named James Giles , at No . 10 , Hmmnjidon-strjot , Hoxton , cut the throats of two of his infant children , and afterwards his own . One of the chiHren , however , tht youn'gest , ! : e did not succeed in destroyn g , although the wounds infl'fltod are of . 10 dani ; proa .-: and drta'lful 3 cbaracter , that it is ftarsd the poor little suffenr icjm ot survive . Thi ) father anrl murderer was a necale nuker by trade of good character and steady habits , and of aff ctiouate demeanour towards his tamiiy ; but for the la ' -t twelve months consumption hidiwasted his frame aud prevented him foHowiog his jewcupation , wh : ch had reduced bimsnlt ' and his family : to atwqlute poverty . Thi He circurns'ances seemed to have preysd upon the mind of the Unhappy man , an ^ jdrivun him to this horrible act . Tho family con .-ijced of Giles , his wife , and four cliiliren , but he seems to have

      only con'emplated the destruction of the two youiige-t . He accofflpli'h << i las object by sentiing tho iwo eldest boys , of fifteen and tiiiriet-n years ! of jg » : r .- apectively , to a place ot aniu .-emen * ., called thi . ' Britannia Saloon , at the same time desiring his wife to accompany and take care of them , and then closing the doors and fat-tening tr-p , vviniows , he cpnitneccrd , the horrible butchery . W : ; en the . unfortunate wife returned , and , agi-istance btingprocured , au entraiice was forced , the two children were found lyint- ; on tho bed with their throats cut , while the fa . her of the infants way lying on his ri ^ ht Mdo op the floor , with his head well nigh severed from his ; body , and a razor was found lying br-side Iv ' in . He was still warm , but quite dead . There does not ; appear to have been any other motive to induce the commission of so terrible a crime than the dread which Giles always seemed to entertain that at his- death his children would come to beggary .

      Lo ^ oo ^^ Corn Exchange , Monda y , Jan . 9 th . — We have to report tlio arrival of a very liajiW supply of English Wheat up to our market ¦ since this day sc- ' nnifchE , coa t wi-e as well a-s by laud carriage , and sample , the qualify of which wasj tolerably good . In constquence of the small quantity on the elands , and the large attendance ot both London and country buyers , the demand for all dek'Tipuous of both red and white was brisk , at an ajlviwrico on last week ' s prices of from la . to 2 a . per quarter , and a goud clearance was speedily effected by tbe factors . We had a fair quantity of fine foreign

      Wheat offering , the best of which sold readily at a rise of 2 s ., while othpr kinds were Isperqua'tsr dearer than on Monday last . There waa more inquiry for bonded parcels , and rather enhanced rates were paid for the , superior descriptions . The quantity of Barley on } offer was comparatively Bmall . The best Malting parcels were 2 s , grinding anddi&tiUing sorts , Is per quarter higher , with a fine 6 ale . The Malt trade was rather firm , aud a trifling advance waa obtained for the best Ware . All kinds of Oats met a fine sale , and 6 d per quarter more money was paid for , the best pctuto aortF . Beth Beans aud Peas were quite as dear , with a fair inquiry . Tho Flour trade was steady , bnt we hare no advance to notice in price .

      London , Shithfield , Monday , Jan . 8 . —As is invariably the case at this season of the year , which may be considered as the commencement of that from Norfolk for Beasts , the arrivals of stock * fo this ma- ket from out eastern coantfes are weekly on the increase , and , so far as they have progressed , we are enabled to report favoui ably of their general condition and quality . From th « northern grazing districts , viz . Littcpioshire r Leiee 3 ter 3 hire , Northamptonshire ., &o , the supplies are gradually decreasing , and such will bo the case for some weeks to come . In to-day ' s market ths supply of Beasts was , the time of year considered , tolerably good , and folly adequate to m « 0 ' / tho wants of tho dealers , whose attendance was rath r numerous . The primest Scots , homebreds ,

      runts , &cM produced in most transactions prices quite equal to tht ) 38 noted on this day fortnight , or from 4 h 2 d to 43 6 i per 80 s . ; but the demand for the middling and inferior qualities was slow , and previous rates were with difficulty supported . We had about 2 l'O store barrens , cows , and heifers on sale , which went off at low figures . Notwithstanding the weather was m >> re favourable to slaughtering , tbe mutton trade , owing to t ; te immense numbers on sale viz ., about 3 O . (; u ( J was extremely inanimate , and the qUctn'otis declined quite 2 i per Sib ' ., the ? ery primest old Downs not exceeding 4 s 4 d . There were about 3 . 000 t-irned oat unsold at tr-e close of business . Abou : 50 Lambs were in the nnrkat , but they commanded scarcely any-attention : hence , we are aasble t «> give accurate rates for them . Calves were in limited supply , and ' sluggish inquiry for

      them . Rather more business was doing in Pigs but no advance took p ' ace in t-h-ir value , with afeout 20 # by sea , from D u blin and Cork . From our northern dis * ricts we reeeived about 1 500 short-horns and rants ; from Norfolk , Suffolk , Esses arid Canfcbridgeshire . 600 boots , home-br ^ ds , and runts ; from the western and midland ; coun ' . ies , 400 Herefords , Devone , Durham , rants and Ii ish beasts from other parts of England , I 8 fr of varions breeds from Aberdeen , 70 horned and polled ricots , but chiefly the latter ; from Ireland , via Liverpool , 50 beasts ; the remainder 0 ? the supply b + iug derived from the neighbourhood of the Metropolis . As we have anticipated , the iraports of stock from abroad , both in Lond < in and at the out-ports , have be-on very scanty , we having here to-day only four oien from Spain , in miserable condition ; and we s-: e no prospect whatever of their being larger for some time to

      ( From ihe Agra Vlchbar ) We have great pleasnre in Jaying before our readers the following interesting and succinct acecu ; t of the march between Cabul and Jellalabad : — Camp J « llalabad , 2 C : h October , 1842 . On the 12 th Instant the whole British force then encamped in the neighbourhood of the city , marched to Boodkhak , acccniFanied by the Shalzida Fatten Jang , and most of tbe Hindoos late resident of CabuL Here arrangements were made for dividing the troops into two columns , by taking the 2 d and 16 th Regiment Native Infantry , with Capt . Blood ' s battery of ninepounders , from tbe force under Major-General Nott , and attaching them to that with Major-General Pollock , who movfcd forward with his divisions through

      the Kh < ord Cabul Pass tho following morning . Major-Genera SaJehad taken a route by the { Gost Pundurrah ) Pass to Ihe right of tbe Ki , oord Cabul -with his light brigndo Jhe uay previons . so as to torn the Kfaoord Cabnl Pass acd crown tbe heights from tbe farther side , where they ¦ were more accessible . This route ( Gost Pandurrab ) can only be adopted by troops in light marching order , -with yaboos , being impracticable for camels or heavily laden animals , and if the Affghans had Biade any disposition to oppose our passage through Khoord Cabnl , ihe detour taken by the 1 st brigade ¦ weuld have been of material advantage ; as it waa , however , not a shot vras fired , Dor enemy seen , and we all encamped at Kfeoord Cabal on the 13 th , some arriving there rather late , from tbe delay in getting onr immense train of baggage throngh the narrow

      pass . " On the 14 th we passed over the Huft Kotul ( the eoene of our former glonons fight ) , and through the Teseen Pass , encamping in the valley . The 4 th brigade , nnder ^ Brigadier Monteath , OB ., formed tbe reargs&rd / s&d did not ef&ct their march ; as scatheless as yesterday . Owing to the badness ot the bullocks yoked to the captured guna , Tery great delay was occasioned , and finally the bullocks -were taken out , and the soldiers of her Majesty ' s Slst regiment supplied their

      place ; the labour teas excessive , And they did not arrive at ' . the narrow pass leading to the Ttzeen valley until dark . The enemy , taking advantage of this , commenced a sharp fire into the column , acd maEses of baggage collected there , causing great confusion amongst tbe latter . Parties -were immediately seat np to tho heights on ths rigbt to dislodge these marauders , the br igadiers , staff-officers , leading the party , but owing to the darkness , little couid bo done bsyond checking thfeir descents into the pass ; nothing but the flash 0 !
