the year.
The Barometer at the height of the typhoon fell to 294-in. and we hear that even working expan sively as she did, so great was the leak in her mid- ship boiler, that the temperature of the water in her bilge was 185 deg, indeed cold water had to be let frequently into the ship to prevent the Officers

TYPHOON IN THE CHINA SEAS. INTERRUPTION the voyage of H. M. STEAMER DRIVER IN PROGRESS TO NEW ZEALAND. -Her Majesty'y War Steamer Driver, strived at Singapore from Sea on the 22nd instant, and as some particulars of the cause of her unexpected visit cannot fail to prove interesting, we are enabled to present our readers with some account of her cruise.
We wonder that the Bashee Islands are not more frequented by ships, especially as stock and provi. sions at Hongkong are so very expensive. The Governor and inhabitants are represented to be an xious to trade and vessels frequenting that neigh- bourhood may be assured of an hospitable recep. tion from all, not excepting the worthy friars inha biting the convent.
As a specimen of the price of provisions, on the authority of our intelligent informant, we may ob- serve that Bullocks are to be had from 7 to 10 dal. lars each-Goats 1 to 1 Rupees, which are said to be very fine-and Pigs at about a rupee each Vegetables, Fruit, &re almost for carrying away, for such is their abundance that scarcely anything is demanded for a sufficient amount for a ship's use, Her Majesty's War Steamer Driter was in this port some months ago-She is a beautiful vessel, with three 68 pounders of 10 inches calibre. From the weight of her guns, the gallantry of her officers and the manly bearing of her crew, we cannot but regret that the above enumerated hindrances should have occurred, to postpone for a louger! period, the severe chastisement which Heki and the murderous chiefs in the Bay of Islands deserve,

Wheat we could not possibly name over $2 per bag, there having been considerable imports ex "Hector" and "Adele Marquard." Gran imported from Maulmain has been sold at $1 per bag.
GUNNIES.-Shippers from Bengal, by making large simultaneous shipments, always overstock and depress our market. There is a steady demand throughout the year for reasonable supplies, but no very large quantities can be sold off at once.
