      IKDIA , ^ FFGHANISl ' AN , AiND CHINA . The extraordinary express in anticipation of the Indian mail to the 1 st of Desemhcr , hss snivel , and ¦ we bare lette b and papers to tfcat date . The intelligence -which they communicate , although not of an exciting nature , is still highly interest 5 ng , in particular as tending to derelope the policy abont to be adopted , not only in relation to the AfFjehans of Cabul , but also in regard to the inhabitants of the nistricts bordering on the river Indus , and even towards the Sikhs in the Puirjaub .

      The return or all the British troops through the hostile defiles of the Kbybsr was fully concluded on the 7 th of November . The first division , under General Pollock , succeeded in effecting their march -without much difficulty . The second , commanded by General M'CaskilL was not equally fortunate , in consequence , as report states , of the neglect of crowning the heights over a most dangerous part of the defile . The plunder-loving mountaineers "were on the -watch , and , findiEg this division embarrassed in its movements near Ali Mnsjid , during the night of the 3 rd , made an stt&ck-ozi the baggage , a considerable quantity of which is said to have fallen into their hantia During the skirmishing , two officers , Li en tenant Christie , of the Artillery , and Ensign Nicholson , cf the 30 th Bengal Native Infantry , were killed , as ' well as upwards of one hundred Stpoys killed and wounded , besides a number of camp follower * . Two cannon were

      also taken by them , but *> ne of the guns was retaken on the following * morning , as well a * the carriage of tbe other , the Shyberrees having found means of concealing the gun itself . With this exception netting of consequence appears to have occurred in the return of the tcoopg from JelMabad to Pesbavrur , through the most difficult defiles in Asia . The third division under General Kott , which formed the last of the army , aEJumrood , the frontier station of the Sikh territory , on the 6 th . This division , through its march from Candabar to Ghnsoee and to Cabal , and threugb the passes from Catml , has earned for itself well-merited praise . Kuaofer asserts that feelings of jealousy existed between two . of the Commanders of the gallant army , who had , by they-conjoined efforts , re-established the reputation of tlflFBritisfe Brma in Central Asia ; the cause of those feelings was not known to tbe public

      The retreat of tbe British from Cabul was preceded by the destruction cf the celebrated baziar of that capital . Its destruction is stated to have been caused by its having been the principal theatre of the indignities ¦ with -which the be 4 y of the British Envoy , Sir W . H . Hacnaghten , was treated , subsequent to bis murder by Aihbar Khan . This assassin appears to have lost his influence in that country , for the murder of the Envoy and his treachery practised towards the British troops in January last year having deprived him of all chance of being recognized as the chief , he had retired to Balk , as if in disgrace . The principal leaders of the tribes around Cabul have acknowledged ; s their Sovereign Scoah Poors , a son of Schah Soojah , for whose sake it

      is stated that the British Generals agreed to leave tbe Bala Hissar intact , in order to allow him that citaoel as a place of refuge in case of danger . Schah Poora is described as a youth , sixteen years old , whose appearance and manners had gained him friends among the tribes . His brother , Futteh Jung , who seemed at firs : inclined to try his chance of remaining Sovereign of Cabnl , had withdrawn at the same time as the British troops to the protection of the Company's dominions . It may appeez singular that two sons of Schah Soojah shoxOd now hold the government of the two chief places in Afghanistan , viz ., Softer Jung at Candahar , and Shah Poora at Cabul The great problem is , how long they , without any aid from abroad , will be able to maintain their tmenvied position among the restless tribes .

      Jellalabad , Ali Mnsjid , and the other forts through the Kbyber , have been demolished , in order to prove to the Khyberreea that the British forces are fully able not only to ferce their passes , but to destroy their strong holds , and to retire at their own option back to India . Trophies of various kinds had been bronchi from Cabnl ; among them wtre more than twenty cannons j one of the latter , a large brass gun , having been found too cnwieldy , was left on tfce road by General M * CaskilL but it was afterwards burst by Captain Thomas and the Irregulars under his orders who formed the rear guard . The destruction of this gun , which it was feared would be replaced in triumph in Cabul , -was considered as a great service , paiticulaily as it was said that Lord Ellenborough had at one . time expressed a desire to have it in India .

      The destruction of the Bsziar at Cabul , and of a HioEque built this year near it , as a special monument of the triumph of the AffghtmB over the " Infidels" of India , had produced a series of lugubrious homilies irom certain journals there , the sympathies of which have been long enlisted in favour of Akhbar Shan and the ASgbMis . Those homilies , mixed up with the most outrageous exaggerations of what took piece at Istalif and during the retreat , are likely to produce echoes in places where the exact fiature of the f -. eta is uokuown . In India they are looked upon as tbe produce of those " extraoidinary patriots" who love to find every fault in the acts of their own countrymen , and to praise the enemy ss alone possessing honour or honesty . The British troops were under orders to match through fhe Sikh dominion in six brigades ; the &rtt was to move on the lofh of ISovembtr . Rumours

      were current of the probability of certain arrangements being formed between the Sikh Sovereign Sheie Singh and the Governor-General , -whereby the former was to agrre to accept the protection of the British Government in order to preserve hereafter bis throne and his life . The Governor-General , with his body- ^ uard , had reached Muuiehmajra on the 1-ith of November , in his progress to Fcrtzopore , where / & '« were to be given on tbe arrival of the troops from Cabul , and near which piacs it was expected that interviews would take place between his Lordship and the Maharrajah , as Shere Singh is cemmonly called . The Commander-in- Chief was also on bJs - "ay from Simla to Ferezopore . Some apprehension appeared to have been entertained of & ' collision between the Sikhs aud ihe

      British troops near Peahawur , and positive orders had been issued to prevent any British soldier or camp follower from entering any Tillage near the camp , and from going to Peshawar . Tarious comments centinued to be made respecting the order published by Lord Ellenborougb declaring that all the AflfeTum chiefs detained in India should be liberated , but requiring that prior to obtaining permissioa toretuin to their own country they should attend his Lordships levee at Fertzopore . Many of those reasosers , who oddly enough louk upon Host Mohammed as an injured man , simply because he had been

      deprived of his ill-gotten power by the regulations of the British Government , afi = ct to discover in this order of Lord Ellenborongh a desire to insult a fallen foe . The contrary seems much wore probable , lor special care was to be taken that their wivss and families should bs conducted with all respect to the frontiers of AffgbanMsn , whither they themselves were to be permitted to proceed as won as the British army had passed the Indus . This order contains also the remarkable statement that Akhbar Kosn , prior to the late advance of the British annie * , baa refused to exchange the British prisoners in his custody even for his father and his own family .

      The old clamour , althongh much deadened , shll existed for what is called "the restoration of Dost Mahommed to the throne . " Tiiis clamour , which is said to proceed from peculiar motives , is fonnded upon a fake view of facts ; for Dost Mohommed never was more than an Ameer , or mere Prince , holding power in the absence of the Bong , and wp- » but partially recognised by even the tribes of Cabnl ; it was therefore supposed that at the dnrbar Jlevee ) of the Governor-General some terms would b 9 proposed for bis

      consideration and acceptance , which won"d tend to indnce Dust Mahommed to admit tbe superior lights of Schah Soqjahs's sons to the rule of Candabar , and Cabul , and thereby contribute towards establishing some degree of trauquOlUy in that country . It is scarcely to be presumed that the Governor-General will at once , unhesitatingly , letlooss into that country the" strange being " who refused to accept the terms originally proposed by the British Government , and whose favourite son has since followed b's example by the most vnexswpled atrocities .

      The Governor-General had not bsen unmindful of the -utility of restoiing the commerce of the Indus to the flourishing state which it enjoyed , even so late as during the reign of AnruD £ Zsbee , and bw made public his intention " to station permanently a ) &rge British fvrce of Europeans and natives between the Sutledge an&adnrkunda , r md also to facPittite the navig » tion of the Indus and tbe tributary livers , and to improve the state of the roads between the Sntledge and tbe Ganges and Jumna . A light-honsa wj >^ ordered to bs erected on Munora-point , in the neighbourhood of Hnrx&chee ,

      The political agencies established in Scinde appointed by Lord Auckland , bad been abruptly terminated by an order of the present Governor-General , -who has placed the whole management of those districts under the care of General Sir Charles Napier , now commanding the Bombay army stationed there . There had , according to rumour , been some farther stipulations urged upon the Ameers of Hyderabad , to which they seemed unwilling to assent . Great activity prevailed la the communications between that Genera ' , sud the Government of Bombay . The removal of Major Outram , to whose talents , t ttzvity , and appropriate measures was due much of th 9 tcsjtquillity that latterly prevailed in Scinde , was regtxrded as calculated to produce a course of expensive open&BB 3 - -Her Ifcsjestya 41 > tRegiment V £ j zbont to eniba _ -fc for Europe from Kurrachee , for which purpose trasspcTtshad been ordered from Bombay .

      It was fitted that the Govern or-General bad Borne measures is contemplation -which were calculated to lessen the pleasure on the finances of the Indian Government * in the extraordinary expenditura There had b-een a heavy fall of rain at Bombay on the 15 th of TfONJBinber , wbieh tmusupl » nd DEseasonable event had cs . tised the cholera to isge among the natives for several iaya .

There is an observation made by our correspondent , in his postscript , to -which it may be proper to animadverts It is that the pillage and destruction

      committed in the vallies of the mountains dmiog the retreat frcm Cabul , and in the dwellings of the most notorious robbers of Asia , and rmidsttbe scenes of tbe bloody treachery of last January , are not to t 3 exclusively attributed to tbe British troops . The Sikhs were there also , and they had received too many lessons i-om the Affgbana not to feel satisfaction In the relaxation . The horrible accusation of burning some wounded men by stttuig flie to their clothes is said to to a grosa exaggeration .

      built in tbe reign of Arnuzebe by the celebrated Ah Murdan Elian , and which may be considered to have been the most frequented part of Cabnl , and known as the grand emporium of this part of Central Asia . The remaiuB of the lute Envoy and Minister bad been exposed to public insnlt in this bsziar , and my motive in effecting its desbucrion has been to -impiess . upon the AffgbanB that their atrocious co duct towards a British functionary has not been suffered to pass with impunity .

      ANOTHER SERIOUS FIRE AT LIVERPOOL . On Thursday evening , about twenty minutes past five o ' clock , a fire was discovered « o have broken out in tho extensive premises of Me ' hrs Foster and Stewurt , arcbitfcts , and bunders , Lawton-street , Liveipool . lhe building is situated on the west side 0 ! their large yard , which extends to Newington ; is iu the form of a lar ^ o warehouse of four stories high rrom the ground , and extends lengthwise , from north to south , apparently sjventy ^ o eighty yards , occupying , almost immediately behind the houses and other buildings on ttie east side of Law £ o&-strpet , nearly the who )® distance between

      the Arcade and Cropper-gtreet . There was also the large yard on the east filled with logs of square timber on one side , aud containing , on the other , a great stock of deal boards mounted on hor ^ e * . To add 'o the danger , the premises aDd yard are closely bounded on both sides by buildings , Lawi on-strect on thfi west , CTopper-street 011 the Bouth . Luckily , however , the fire was confiaed almost wholly to the premises in which it broke out , and in which it was found impossible to restrain ; its ravages . But , however , for the fci - eat and well-directed exertions of the tire-police , there is no doubt hat it would have swept away a iarge breadth of valuable propertycrossma Bold-street in tho south-easterly direction .

      The alarm was received at the fire-statioa about twenty minutts or a quarter before six , and engines , jvitb a stroajf body of the fire-poJicu and others , were on the ground in a few minutes . In a few minutes no fewer than nine engines were preEent . In we believe less than h » lf an . hour » ter the fire was discovered , the whole building , it may be said , was internally in a blaze . The roof soon fell in p iecemeal ; and so rapid was the combustion that in trn minutea after the fire alarm was heard at the top oi Lord-street , the whole atmosph re in that

      direction was illuminated , and the flames rose over the height of the Lyceum and the Waterloo Hotel intervening , a height of occasionally sixty or seventy feet . The principal aad direct inlet to approach the fire was Fairclough-street , leading from Raue . ' a ^ hstreet into Lawwm-street , aud terminating a ! mo 3 t at the immediate scene—there being only a row of smaller buildings on the other side of Lawton-streel ( which is narrow ) and a yard , of no great breadth , between the speciator and the fire . The only and main approach was by a gate or cart-way on he south , and close to the office of Messrs . Fo : ter and

      atewart . The fire went on with great rapidity , presenting from time to time varied but still fearful appearances . Portions of the brick-work also fell occasionally but reiuciantly , showing that the premises were a 9 good as "brick-work and timber could make them . " Mr . Rushton , the polioe magistrate , was rarly on the l round , as well as the mayor and several official gentlemen . They all rendered efficient service . The inhabitants of part of Lawton-street , and nearly ali those in Croppor-street , in tho immediate vicinity of the fire , removed their furniture iu alarm at an early period , and much loss and breakage necessarily occurred . The timber in the yard ou the east of the building was , for the most part , pieserved . From this ( the Newington end ) tbe scene was throughout tearful and magnificent .

      About half-past six o'clock a portion of the south gable end of the building fell with a crash towards the Arcade , which had before been considered in danger , and at the boitom 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 mas * of materials fell upon the roof of the Ai cade , just above the Crescent ( covered with glass ) , near the lower end , and crushed in the roof and demolished seven of the shops . Several persons , it was at first supposed , were crushed beneath the ruins , which extended along the Arcade from fifty to sixty feet of its lergth .

      Mr . Rushton , Mr . Whitty , and many other gentlemtn , police-ofllcers , &c , were soon on the spot , and for a short time were heard the cries of a man beneath their feet . AH turned to work to remove the wreck with which he , was covered , although a , feariul portion of the gablo wall with tbe fire raging within was close to them , and in a few minutes they succeeded in extricating the poor maia . Mr . Whiiity was most active in the good work ; also firemen i 9 l and 137 . He was found net to be seriously injured , he having falkn under a beam of the roof of the A \ rcade , which broke off the otherwise fatal pressure of the materials . His name ia , William Wilson , apd he was carried home .

      All the shopkeepers in the Arcade had moved their goods—some to a distance , others merely aoroBS , or into adjoining yards—with , in bulky articles , much damage . Much of the fine furniture , &c , in the lower shops , was left in the Cresceut , under the glass roof , anu must have suffered injury from duBt , water , &c . About half-past eight at night it might be said tbe fire bad done its worst . That side of the premises next to Lawton-street presented then a most perilousappeaeance—so much so that all but the firemen were . ordered out ot the yard , the mayor and Borne few others excepted . By nizie o ' clock a ) l was got under , so far as further danger was apprehended . It is not ascertained how the fire originated , or in what particular part of the building . We have not learned the loss .

      Eight years ago tbe premises of Messrs . Foster and Stewart were the scene of a similar devastation ; their extensive workshops , &o ., having been consumed by fire / on the 20 th December , 1834 . On that occasion the destruction of tb 6 premises wes complete in a few hours , and from what transpired after wards , it appeared thac that frightful coiiflagration was not the result of accident . Tho -value of the took belonging to Messrs . Forster aud Stewart ' s workmen was not less than £ 2 , 000 ; to meet wnicb a kantisome subscription , was raiset . ' .

The steamer , we have have be ^ n informed , sailed on Saturday evening from PortdioUaen to Liverpool , laden with pigs , COWh , aisd bnuer , and she had oh board twenty-six p'M'soio , cnn «( hting ohitfiy ofjthe crew and the peisons to whum the cargo belonged . A btavy gale of wind having set in , she wo % jabout s'x o ' clock , driven upon Caru .-. rvon Bar , ncarjthe Fairway buoy , it beintf the . ' ) nearly low water . Four

      men contrived to save themselves in the boat , and two were afterwards saved by the life-boat . The remaining twenty persons , owieg to the heavy sea that washed over the s'earner , perished . | . The two men who were saved owed the preservation of their lives to Capt . Jones , of the smack Diligence . He , on observing the si ^ nall ;< hts of d'stress shown by the steamer , immediaoly ubtaiued a horse ! , and galloped to a distanee of several milen for the ! life-boat , mustered the crew , and wa << in a very sihort time alongside the wreck .

      Horrible Mordkr a ^ d Suicide i . v London . — Another of these mobt appalling cases occurred on Saturday night , when a man named James Giles , at No . 10 , H-untingdon-. wcet , Iloxton , cut tbe throats of two of his infant children , and afterwards his own . One of the children , however , the yoangefet , he did not succeed in destroying , although the w ; oands inflicted are of no dangerous , and dreadful a character , that it is feared the poor little sufferer c . fjnnot survive . The father and niuHerer was a needie-maker by trade of good character and steady habits , and of affectionate demeanour towards his iamily ; but for the last twelve months consumption hart \ vasied his frame and prevented him following his occupation , which had reduced himself and his family to absolute poverty . These circumstances seemed to haye preyed upon the mind of the unhappy man , and driven him to this horrible act . The tamtiy consisted of Giles , liis wife , and fo'ir children , but he seems to have

      oniy contemplated the destruction of tho two youngest . He accomplished his object by sending tho two eldest boys , of fifteen and thirteen years « ? " age respectively , to a place of amusement , called ! the Britannia Saloon , at the same time desiring his wife to accompany and take caro of them , and then closing the doors and fastening the windows , he commenced , the horrible butchery . When the unfortunate wife returned , and , assistance being procured , arii entrance was forced , the two children were found ; lyini { on the bed with their throaty cut , while the ; father of the infants was lying on his ri * ht side on { the floor , with bis head well nigh severed from his body , and a razor was found lying beside him . 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 .

      London Corn Exchange , Monday , Jajn . 9 th . — We have to report the arrival ot a very limited supply of English Wheat up to our njurti <; t since this day se ' nnight , coastwise as well ab by laud ] carriage , and sample , the quality of wiiioh was jtoleraoly good . In cou 8 equence of the small quantity on the stands , and the large atteudance ot botli London and country buyers , the demand for all descriptions of both red and white was bri&a ., at an advance on last week ' s prices of from Is . to 2 i . per quirttsr , and a good olearanoe was speedily effrcted by the factors . We had a iair quantity of fine loreign Wheat offering , the best of which sold

      readily at a rise of 2 s ., while other kinds were Is per quarter dearsr tban on Mortday last . There was more inquiry for bonded parcels , and rather enhanced rates were paid for thej superior descriptions . The quantity of Barley on [ offer was comparatively small . The best Malting parcels were 2 s , grinding and dibtilling Borts , Is per quarter higher , with a fiue bale . The Malt trade was rather firm , and a trifling advance was obtained for ihe best Ware . A . H kinds ot Oats met a fine sale , and 6 d per quarter more money was paid for the best pots to sortF , Both Beans and Peas were quite as dear , with a fair inquiry . Tbe Flour trade was fcteady , but we have no advance to notice in price .

From the northern grazing districts , viz . Lincolnshire , Leicestershire , Northamptonshire , &c , the supplies are gradually decreasing , and such will be the case for some weeks to come . In today ' s market the suoply of Beasts was , tho tima of year considered , tolerably good , and fully adequate to meet the wants of the dealers , whose attendance was rather numerous . The primest Scots , homebredg , runts , &c , produced in most transactions prices quite equal to those noted on this day fortnight , or from 4 * 2 d to 4 s 6 d per 81 bs . ; but the demand forth © middling aad inferior qualities was slow , and previous rates were with difficulty supported . Wo had about 200 store barrens , cows , add heifers on sale , which went off at low figure \ Notwithstanding the weather was more favourable to Siaughtfcrikg , the mutton trade , owing to tne immense numbers on sale riz ., about 30 , 000 , was extremely iraniaiate , and the quotations declined quite 2 i per 8 ib < ., the very primest old Downs not exceeding 4-5 4 i . T ^ re were about 3 , 000 turned out unsold at ttK- cKk-o of business . About 50 Lambs were in tho market , bit

      they commanded scarcely any attention ; aeaoo . we are unable to give accurate rates for them . C&lvei were in' limited supply , and slugg i sh ioqu'ry for them . Rather more business was doing in Pig 3 but do advance took place in their v . iiue , with about 200 by sea , from Dublin and fork . From our northern districts we . received about 1 500 short-horns aud runts ; from Norfolk ? "Suffolk , E- ex and Cambridgeshire , 600 Scots , home-brads , and runts ; frain ihe western and midland counties , W 0

      Hereford ? , Devons , Durham , lupfs ana 1 ^) len ^ ta from other pans of England . 180 of vsn ' ous brft <; 8 from Aberdeen , 70 horned and polled Scots , but chiefly the latter ; fiom Ire ' aud , via Liverpool , 50 beasts ; the remainder of the suv-ply being derived from the neighboorhood of the Metropolis . As we have anticipated , ihe imports of stock frcm abivad , both in Londsn and at tlie out-ports , have been very scanty , we bavina bevo to-day only four oxen tiova .

      { Ftom ihe Agra Ukhbar . J We have great pleasure in . laying before onr readers the following interesting end succinct account of the march between Cabul and Jellalabad : — Camp Jellalabad , 26 ch October , 1842 . On the 12 th instant the -whole British force then encamped in the neighbourhood of tho city , marched to Boodkhak , accompanied by tho Shabzada Fatteh Jan ; , and most of the Hindoos Hte resident of Cabal . Here arrangements -were made fc dividirg the troops into two column * , by taking the 2 d and 16 th Re'imeut Native Infantry , with Capfc . Blood's , battery of n ' neponoders , from the force under Major-General Nott , and a « 8 ching them to that with Major-General Pollock , -who moved forward -with b » 9 divisions ibTough tbe Kboord Cabn \ Ps-a tbe following momiujr .

      Major-General Sptebad taken aront 3 by tbe ( Gost Pundnrrah ) Pass to the right of tbe Khoora Cabnl -with his light brigade the day previous . 1 j as to turn the Khoord Cabnl Pass and cwwn the heights from the further side , -where they -were more accessible . This route ( Goat Pondmrah } can only be adopted by troops in light marching order , -with yaboos , being impracticable for camels or heavily laden animals , and if the AffgbaDs bad made any disposition to oppose our passage through Khoord Cabul , the detour taken by the 1 st brigade vronld have teen of material advantage ; as it -was , however , not a ahot -was fired , nor enemy seen , and we all encamped at Khoord Cabnl on the 13 th , some arriving there rather late , from the delay in getting our immense train of baggage through the narrow pa ? s .

      " On the 14 tb we pasted over the Huft Kotul < tbe ecene of . oar former glorious fight ) , and through the Tezeen Paw , encamping in the valley . The 4 th brigade , under Brigadier Monteath , CJB ., formed the rearguard , snd did not effect their march r- » scatheless as yesterday . Owing to the badness of the bollocks yoked to toe captured guns , very great delay-was occasioned , and finally tbe bullocks were taken ont , and tbe soldiers of her Majesty's 31 st regiment supplied their

      place ; the labour was excessive , and they did not arrive at the narrow pass leading to the Tezeen valley until dark . The enemy , taking advance of this , commenrsd a sharp fire . ' nto the column , and masses of baggsge collected there , causing great confusion amongst tbe latter . Parties were immediately ssnt up to the heights on tbe rigfat to dislodge these marauders , the brigadiers , staff-officers , leading the party , but owing to the darkness , little could be done beyond checking their descents into the pui I Bottling bat . tbe flash of
