Is. infinite consequence in taking a judicial view of the Dewan'sconduct, but the evidence °fir, by some strange accident, was omitted in the report of the trial that we reprinted from the Delhi Gazette. The Commissioners it will be seen, condemn, indirectly it is true, the policy of Sir F. Currie throughout the whole of these transactions. The Dewan had stipulated for the I strictest secrecy in order to enable him effectually to redeem his promise, mid all the Resident's proceedings were blazoned in the face of open day ; his selection of the agents for this delicate piece of business i 3 censured as injudicious, and their demeanour in the fulfilment of their mission fully justifies the censure; in short, it is undeniable that the British officials are the persons morally responsible for the outbreak at ' Moultan; Moolra s i was by their acts driven into the false position he had the misfOrtune to huld, and in which he became, in the eye of the law, liable for the deeds of his turbulent followers. We here, however will take leave of this topic; little more, we imagine, will be heard of the man whose strange, eventful history here closes to the world. We have to record, and do it with the satisfaction that an act of so sound a policy is calculated t o create, the appropriation by the Marquis of Dalhousie of 5 lacs of rupees per annum for.the construction of works of irrigation, roads, and other material im provements in the country of Lahore. We hail this auspicious beginning; it will at least be a pledge to the Seikhs that we purpose looking after the interests of the territory, and the welfare of_ the population in a snore paternal style than for a long period they have been accustomed to. The Governor-General has also come to the determination to allow no more Seikh levies to be raised for service in the Punjaub. The corps in process of lin mation are to be completed and kept up from our own provinces; a measure of pre caution which it is singular did not recommend itself to the Government much earlier. In the meantime the Commander-in Chief is understood to have given forcible expression to his disapprobation of auxiliary contingents, and urges as the wisest course an increase to the regular army ; but his remon strances are met with theoft-told tale of financial embarrassments. In our " Latest Intelligence" last month we men- tinned that it was likely gir Charles would soon leave Simlah for Lahore and Peshawur, and that his depar- ture was likely to be hastened by the news of disaf fection among some of the corps stationed in the Yunjaub. The insubordinate troops, however, quickly returned to their duty, and his Excellency, according to the latest accounts, still continues at Simlah, though with the intention of proceeding north when the weather is favourable. The cause of the disatrec- tion in question was the old grievance among native soldiers, the retrenchment of a portion of their extra pay, to which, in fact, mannerthey asis'etroe lead dt the Sepoy s bu to t which seems to have been withheld in so bungling and unsatisfactory a think that they were about to be cozened out of legitimate allowances; —hence the mutiny, for to such their conduct on this occasion nearly amounted. It is passing strange that with all our experience of the extreme touchiness of Jack Sepoy on the subject of his pay, knowing how difficult it is to drive into his head any reasons, however just, for it s cur tailment, and almost impossible to obtain from him even a reluctant acquiescence in it—it is, we say, passing strange that blunders on this subject should be so frequently perpetrated, and, though the fidelity of the native soldiers be thereby risked, and entire regiments driven to the verge of mutiny, and often beyond it (e. g. the 6th Madras Light Cavalry), per petrated with impunity. There are punishments enow for the ignorant trooper who is led by his desire of asserting what he fancies his unquestionable right into acts of insubordination, death, and transportation; and for the author of all the mischief—why, there is promotion on the next vacancy, augmented pay, and augmented opportunity of blundering. The joint-stock banks in the north-western pro vinces have addressed a memorial to the Governor- General in Council, praying for certain alterations in the law relating to joint-stock institutions, and espe cially banks, the necessity of which has become more strikingly apparent during the recent monetary and commercial crisis ; and the Legislative Council is un derstood to have under consideration some enactment for the establishment of a Government audit for the joint-stock banks, on the principle of the railway audit at home. All parties are agreed as to the necessity of some legislative provisions to remedy the defects of the law at present applicable to these partnerships. Elnmiley —ehoiera Lao unfos tuuatcly bulten out In the harbour and town of Bombay, many cases proving fatal. Sir W. Gomm does not leave India so soon as was expected. The news of Sir Charles Napier's early retirement from office may have wrought a change in the views of the Bombay Commander-in- Chief. A rumour has also been current in the Bom bay papers to the effect that, in the event of Sir William Gomm's vacation of the command, the ap pointment is likely to be conferred on Lord F. Fitz clarence, brother-in-law of Lord Falkland. That nomination, however, would give such general dis• satisfaction, and be, as the Bombay Times styles it, a job "so gross and palpable, and calculated to throw such odium on Royalty, through the direct interven tion of which it could only be brought to pass," that it is hardly entitled to the shadow of credence. HIDERAIIAL.—No successor has yet been ap pointed to Shums-001-Omrah, whose dismissal from the Premiership was notified last month. We hear that at a recent Durbar the Nizam invited Suraj-00l- Moolk to his court, presented him with a string of pearls, and restored him his jaghire, worth some three lace of rupees per annum. This marked change of deportment towards his former Minister has of course occasioned considerable surprise, and has been taken as an indication that his Highness has now more kindly feelings towards him, and intends his re-ap pointment. The day of final reckoning cannot surely be far distant. Such rotten decrepitude as these do minions present cannot in the nature of things bold much longer together. Calcutta furnishes us with a very slender supply o f news, the papers having been filled during the past month with the doings of the Commissioners appointed to investigate the state and working of the metropo litan police. The investigation has closed, the Com missioners having collected sufficient material for a report to Government. The disclosures that have been made—for the inquiry has been openly con ducted, and every one that had a complaint to make or a story to tell against the police listened to—are of a very disgraceful kind ; with one partial exception, the European magistrates seem all to have been hopelessly in debt to a wealthy native, Baboo Mutty Loll Seal, who has in the true Hindoo fashion used the influential opportunities which this cir cumstance gave him without much scruple for the welfare of the public or the interests of justice. The infection of the head, as a matter of course, speedily permeated through the whole body, and the underlings were found to have had as keen a sense of the value of money, and to have employed as dilikently., their official facilities of acquiring it, as the gentlemen on the bench. 'What steps Governmentintends taking in the matter remains to be seen ; a thorough sweeping out is clearly inevi table. Another investigation is also in progress, but is conducted with closed doors, into the pecuniary embarrassments of Mr. H. Palmer, of the Bengal Civil Service. MADRAS.—Our own usually pacific Presidency has experienced a disturbance, not in itself of any serious nature, but which has been attended by circumstances of so unpleasant a character as to give it a claim to more prominent notice than our other columns afford. The facts which have come before the public at present are these :—On the 27th ult. a number, variously estimated, of the Moplah caste, a fanatical, cut-throat set, after committing several atrocities in the neigh bourhood of Calicut, took post in a s t rong l y -b u il t . temple on the summit of a whence the efforts of the police to dislodge them proving futile, application was made to the nearest military station for aid. A de tachment of the 43d Regiment of N a ti ve infantry was at once dispatched, under the command of Cap tain Watt and Ensign Wyse, to effect their capture or dispersion ; but, though vastly superior in nu merical strength to the insurgents, the Sepoys, after an effectualdischarge of musketry, betook themselves, in spite of the efforts of their officers to lead them on, to a dastardly flight, with the exception of some half dozen, who bravely stood by Ensign Wyse and paid the cost of their fidelity by sharing his fate. Ensign Wyse and his scanty band were hacked to pieces by the Moplahs, who, with the loss of two of their number, made an unmolested retreat to their stronghold. The circumstances of this disre putable affair have been somewhat differently related, but such appear to be the main incidents; and in them there is too general a concurrence t o a ll ow the hope that better information may relieve the narration of its most ugly feature—the cowardly flight of our troops before one-fourth of their num ber. A requisition was at once sent by the civil au thorities of the district to Cannamore for the services of part of her Majesty's 94th Regiment, which was promptly attended to. The Mopl a h s were com pletely routed, and 64 of their number killed, the loss on the side of the 94th being only three killed and two wounded. Of the officers, Major Dennis and Lieu tenant Vaughan were wounded. Cholera has visited Jaulnah during the past month with unusual severity, and swelled our obituary list. Since the lith ult. Lieutenant Elliott, of the Artillery, Lieutenant Freesa and Ensign Freeling, of the 331 Native Infantry, the Hon. Captain C. A. Butler, Deputy-Assistant-Commissary-General - at that sta tion, with Doctors Porteous and Edgco:nbe, have fallen victims. The Leinlin mail of the 7th of August reached Madras early on the morning cf the 10Ai inst. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALC LITT A. (From the Englishman, Sept. 7.) The Bombay express, with London dates to the 24th of July, arrived on the Ist inst. Affairs in continental Europe were in a less excited state, and the colonial markets at home were in general steady, although the holders of a few articles pressed upon the market had to submit to a tr:flirg concession in price. In our produce matket 73 chests of indigo have ch,nged hands at previous market value. The accounts from the indigo districts have improved; many concerns are working oat a larger cut turn was anticipated, and the probable crop is now estimated at about 115,000 maunds. The prospeet of the planters in the upper pro vinces, at one time very gloomy, have lately brightened up considerably. The demand for sugar has continued active and extensive, with full previous value for the better qualities of white, and a concession of 2 annas to 3 annas per maund in lower sorts. The inquiry for salt petre has been steady, though not extensive; the supe rior qualities have been neglected, but the lower sorts have, of late, attracted more attention. The superior kinds of raw silk have come into better inquiry, and are much wanted, but other sorts remain flat and neglected. Since the arrival of the mail a large demand has sprung up for Corahs of ordinary and good descriptions, for which prices ranging between 96 and 116 per corge have been given. Lee dye is firm, but in little irquiry, and shell ac is almost totally neglected. The inquiry for jute is active, and the new crop has begun to appear in the market. Rice has continued under ne'lcct. The stocks of safflower are nearly exhausted. Our import market has experienced a gond demand for nearly all descriptions of the more useful Manchester' cloths. Gray shirtings have sold freely. The fine qua lities of whits shirtings end jacconets have been in good n quest. Prints and coloured goods generally have done well. The lighter descriptions of Glasgow fabrics, being scarce, realise higher prices, but ordinary sorts continue neglected. Mule twist has not shown much alteration, but 39's and common 40's are a shade lower, and more difficult of sale, while 50's and higher numbers are in a good demand at former rates. The metal market is dull, the improvement noticed in our last report having beers of short duration. Nothing is doing in sheathing and braziers' copper; the former is nominally quoted at 40, and the latter at 37 to 40. Tile is very dull, and quoted at 33-9. Iron of all kinds is flat; square and flat are quoted at 2-9 to 2-10; hoop at 3-12 to 4.4; sheet at 4.8 to 5. Lead has sold at 7-4; spelter is also without inquiry, and valued at 7.8. The money market is unaltered, and continues to be well supplied. The demand for Company's paper has increased, and our quotations exhibit a slight improve ment o❑ previous rates, viz.:—New Fives, 4 annas dis. count; 2 ditto, Ito ditto; Company's Fours, 14 per cent, ditto; Sicca Fours, 15 per cent. ditto; Bank of Bengal shares, I,GOO to 1,700 premium, but little doing i❑ them. This bank made a profit of 7-1.83 per cent. per annum for the month of July last. Exchange has remained steady, and our rates are still 1-108 to 1 lOf for good document bills ; 1-10 i Baring's and Brown and Shipley's credits at six months. Treasury Bills are quoted at 1 94. The amount taken up at the export warehouse from the Ist of May last to date on the hypothecation ofgoods i 527,18,433 Company's rupees. Freights are at present very unsettled. Fur tonnage in ships which clear out before the approaching Doorga Poojah holydays 41. 10s. to 4/. Iss. can be procured; but for tonnage in those which take their departure after the holidays 41. ss. to 41. 7s. 6d. is the quotation to London. For Liverpool 41. would be accepted. Indigo—Since our last issue we have to report the following sales by private contract, viz.:- 0. and Co., 60 chests, season 1848-49, Oman and Co., Colgong, Bhagulpore, at 122.8 per fy. md.; B C C B, 13 chests, seasons 1848-49, Cawnpore, 105.0 ditto; which rates are extreme confirmation of previous market value. The weather we have had here during the past eight days, which seems to have prevailed, at all events, in the nearer indigo districts, can be but considered as most unusually favourable to the growth and ripening of the yet outstanding cultiva tion, and a satisfactory speedy progress of manufactur ing, which continues to develope a continued improved yield of produce in quantity and quality. Under these circumstances, and the absence of present indications that any rise of the rivers need be apprehended, the prospects of the rnftjority of planters have brightened, and estimates are increased to hear 115,000 maunds. These anticipations are based upon an uninterrupted .printinoartee of the same beneficial weather which has lately prevailed, but, since manufacturing has thus early progressed to an unusual extent, any change of the former cannot reasonably be expected ,to exercise any very material influence on the presumed total out-turn.

Saltpetre—With 'a steady, but not an extensive in quiry, principally for shipment to the United States, and increased supply. Prices gave way shortly after the departure of the last mail, particularly in the supe rior qualities, which are and remain neglected, but the lower kinds have of late again attracted more attention, which led to 2 to 4 annas enhanced requirements, im parting a firmer tendency to the market. The reported transactions since our last issue are, 200 bags refined 6-6; 550 bags superior white bold 6-9; 150 bags Gudna, 6-7; 400 bags Gazepore, 6:to 6-2; 3,000 bags Allygunge, 6 to 6-6; 800 bags Tirhoot, 6-4; 4,700 bags Chupra, 5-6 to 6. Rice—We have to report a continued neglect for home shipments ; and the transactions since our last issue have been limited to 1,000 bags table sort at 2-1. The kinds suitable for the Mauritius are in less exten sive demand, but prices are maintained, about 8,000 bags Balam having found buyers at 1.0.0 to 1.1.6. Safflower The nearly-exhausted stock presents hardly any but undesirable mixed qualities, and of such about 300 mds. have been sold since our last. Bhorrow middling, much mixed, 24 to 23; Pattagatta, middling to badly mixed, broken, and dusty, 19-8 to 25. This season's crop has not exceeded 11,000 mds., and about 2,000 mds. have been kept over from the former, leav ing in all 13,000 mds. available. Raw Silk—The superior qualities of this staple have come into better inquiry, and are much wanted; but other kinds continue flat and neglected. Reported sales —l4 mds. Cossimbazar silk, at 8-12 per fy. seer; 41 at 8-7; 11 at 8; 26 at 7-10; 16 at 7-6; 16 at 7-2; 321 at 6 - 14; 2 at 6-10; 25 at 6-8; 18 Gonateah, 6-2-6; 2 Jun gypore, at 7-8 ; 2i Boaleah, at 5-12; 24 at 4.13 per ditto; 25 Radnagore, 6-8 per bazaar seer; 8 Hurrypaul, 8-8; 26 at 7-4; 38 at 7-2; 60 at 7. Silk Piece Goods—Within the last few days a large demand has sprung up for ordinary and good descrip tions, and 96 to 116 per corge has been given for common to best. Reported sales-1,500 pieces Cossimbazar silk corabs, at 114; 200 at 110; 1,500 at 108; 2,000 at 105; 2,000 at 103; 1,500 at 102 8; 2,700 at 101; 5,000 at 99; 400 at 97; and 250 pieces Cossimbazar silk choppas at 93 per corge.. _ Shellac ind Lac Dye—The demand for these products has grown duller since the date of our last report. Lac dye is firm, though in but moderate inquiry, and shellac is totally neglected. Reported sales-120 boxes Beerb hoom shellac at 9-10 per maund; 85 at 8.8; 85 Bancoorah at 8-8; 87 boxes Beerbhoom lac dye at 27; 26 at 26; 56 at 24-8. Hides—Since our last report there has been a con siderable demand for these goods, both for the British and North American markets. The Bazaar, which was tolerably well stocked when the last mail went out, is now bared of all good qualities, and prices continue the same as during the last four or five months. Continental buyers are still inactive. The Americans have been ex tensive buyers of goatskins, heavy cow, and buffalo hides. Jute—The inquiry for this article has continued active, a few hundred bales of the new crop have arrived, and been placed at 11-0 to 11-8; these, however, aro of ordi nary quality, and not from S,rrajgunge; old is selling at 10 4tolo 8 per bale.

Oil-seeds—Operations in linseed are still confined to the Americans, who have done a fair amount of busi ❑ess at a shade higher rates. Reported eales:-4,300 bags linseed, at 2-4-6 per maund; 1,000, at 2.4; 2,300, at 2 3.6; 300, at 2-2 6; 50, at 2-1.6; 3,000 maunds, at 2 4 6; 3,000, at 2-5; 3,000, at 2 4; 2,500, at 2-3 6; and 1,300 maunds mustard-seed at 2.

Mann, news agent, be fell down by his side. Medical assistance was immediately procured, and every means that human skill could suggest was adopted, but, we regret, without avail; he lingered until about five o'clock, and expired. Mr. Trant was much respected, and was the builder of the new post-office at Devonport, and other public buildings.— Weitern Luminary. PARISH or ST.

We have received by the ordinary semimonthly express from Marseilles dispatches in anticipation of the mail from India which left Calcutta on the Bth, and Madras on the 15th ult. We have received no papers from Bombay. Our intelligence from China is to the 30th of August. From India there is no news of great importance. The most perfect tranquillity prevailed, and the rumours of Sir C. Napier's retirement in the spring of next year had accordingly acquired increased cir culation. The sentence upon Moolraj had been commuted from death to transportation, and the Court by which he was tried had published a very able statement of the grounds upon which they had arrived at the con clusion of his guilt. ' The only exception to the general tranquillity of India had occurred in the Madras Presidency, usually so pacific. It seems that a fanatical caste, called Moplahs, after committing several depredations upon being pursued by the police took post in a strongly fortified temple, whence the police were unable to dislodge them. Application was made for military assistance, and a detachment of the 43d Native Infantry, under Captain Waite, was sent to disperse them, but, from some unknown reason, the Sepoys, though bravely led by their officers, took to flight, after one ineffectual discharge, leaving Ensign %Vise and some few men who stood by him at the mercy of the enemy. They were all, after a gallant resistance, cut to pieces, and the Moplahs returned to their stronghold. Their triumph was, however, of short duration ; a requisition was immediately sent to Cannanore, and a portion of the 94th Regiment was promptly sent against them. The Moplahs were completely routed, with the loss of 64 of their num ber, the 94th losing only 3 men. The cholera had broken out at Bombay, and was continuing its ravages in other parts of India. A terrible loss of life had occurred at Trichinopoly. At an idolatrous festival, held at the top of the high rock, which was attended by an immense concourse of people, a sudden panic occurred, and the multitude from above pressing upon those below, upwards of 400 were suffocated or trodden to death. Our correspondence from Hong-Kong is to the 30th of August. A most atrocious act of barbarity had been committed at Macao on the 22d of that month in the assassination of his Excellency the Governor Signor do Amaral. While taking his cus tomary ride in the evening, accompanied by his aide de-camp, about half a mile from the fort, and 300 yards from the barrier gate, he was suddenly attacked by eight Chinamen, and dragged from his horse, when the murderers hacked off his head and hand, and disappeared through the gate. The aide-de camp was also thrown from his horse and severely wounded. It was well known that rewards had been offered at Canton and elsewhere for the Governor's head, and no doubt is entertained that the murder has been instigated or connived at by the Chinese autho rities, to whom the late Governor had made himself obnoxious. The Portuguese soldiers, impatient to avenge the death of the Go vernor , had taken pos session of the barrier-gate, and beyond the gate had destroyed a small fort, the fire from which molested them. In effecting this seven Portuguese soldiers were wounded, and, it is said, 74 Chinese killed. So soon as the intelligence of the assassination of the Governor reached Hong-Kong, her Majesty's ship Amazon and steamer Medea left for Macao, for the protection of British subjects, and by their presence to give countenance and support to the Portuguese authorities. A French and two American vessels of war were at Macao for similar purposes. About sixty British marines were stationed on shore and a party had charge of the Francisco fort. Marines from the American and French vessels had also landed. It is to be feared, however, that on their removal further outrages will be committed by the Chinese, unless conciliatory measures are adopted by the Portuguese. Senhor Amaral's death had caused universal regret among the foreign community. His vigour, eournaa, and firmmness in dealing with the Chinese nation, secured him the respect and admiration of all, but his very eminence in this respect marked him out for assassination. We have no particular incident to report from Canton. Some energetic measures had been adopted by the Chinese authorities to put a stop to smug gling in the river, and from which foreigners had not been exempted. A small schooner belonging to a British subject had been seized by order of the Consul. Our accounts from Shanghae are to the 20th inst. The rains had ceased and fine weather set in. It was still expected, however, that the injury done to the rice crops would produce much distress, and that disturbances would arise during the winter. A con siderable quantity of foreign :grain had arrived, and more was expected. The injury done to the cotton crop is confirmed. It is reported that the mulberry trees also had suffered severely, and that the supplies of silk will be short, but this requires further con firmation. Her Majesty's ship Hastings and steamer Fury were shortly expected at Hong-Kong from the Straits, with Admiral Sir F. Collier. The Medea steamer was the only vessel in harbour. The Co lumbine was at Whampoa, Phlegethon at Canton, the Mariner at Shanghae, Arab at Ningpo, and Pilot at Amoy. The latest dates received at Hong Kong were from London, 25th June ; Calcutta, 17th July ; Bombay, 18th July ; Madras, 10th July; Singapore, 9th August. THE STATE OF INDIA. (From the Madras Atheneum.) Our stock of news this month is scanty and unim portant. General tranquillity prevails. The rumour of a war with the Maharaja of Cashmere has turned out unfounded, and the political horizon is every where so free from the least indications of disturb ances that Sir Charles Napier, it is said—and the report wears every appearance of authenticity—pur poses resigning his high command and returning to England in the early part of next year. This deter mination, if eventually carried out, will be much to be regretted. His Excellency's tenure of the Com mander-in-Chiefship of the army of India was looked to with many glowing hopes that it would prove an era of long wished for, long needed military reform : his acuteness in detecting abuses, his fearless indepen dence in correcting them ; his equal care for the interests of all ranks and grades of the service, and his unflinching resolution in requiring from every member of the army, from the general of division down to the regimental drummer, a punctual discharge of his duties,— qualifications which his bitterest political opponents have never denied him, where so many guarantees for the fulfilment of the general expecta tion ; and that having just put his sickle into the harvest, he should quit the field, is a contingency that none to whom the military efficiency of this vast empire is a thing of moment can contemplate without keen disappointment. THE PUNZAUB.—Since our last the commutation of the sentence upon Dewan Moolr.ij has been offi cially made known. The Commission met at Lahore on the 31st of July, and communicated to the prisoner the Governor General's pleasure to substitute the punishment of transportation for life for that of death. Alack for Moolraj ! this exchange of penalties, so far from being act of mercy, is an aggravation of severity. With the peculiar prejudices and religious feelings in which Hindoo humanity is imbedded, ten thousand deaths are preferable to the doom of trans portation. The ex-Nizam received the intelligence of his fate with evident distress, one as little anticipated by him as it was by the Indian public generally, who, as was intimated in our last" overland," looked forward to his imprisonment for life in the fortress of Chunar. The last document in connexion with Moolraj's trial has made its appearance. It is what may be termed the summing up of the Commissioners, and is the production of Mr. Mans e l, th e p res id e nt of the court. The paper is one that does infinite credit to the talents of the writer, containing a succinct account of the connexion of .Moolraj with the Lahore Govern ment, a lucid history of the Mooltan disturbances, and-a clearly reasoned exposition of the grounds of the " Court's judgment in convicting Mcolraj of murder, and passing sentence of death upon him." Conside rable light is thrown, by this able sifting of the real facts of the case as they affect the question of the prisoner's criminality, upon the verdict of the Court, which, as we stated last month, seemed by apparent inconsistency open to dispute. The Court deem the ex-Dewan perfectly sincere in his intention to deliver up the province ; perfectly innocent of any design to injure the British officers previous to their arrival at Moultan, and even guiltless of complicity in the attack upon them as they were leaving the fort after its formal rendition had been made; but they consider him responsible for what over happened after his solemn investiture with the " .ungna," or war-bracelet.

Briti,h Cotton Piece Goods—Since our last report, dated the 20th ult., we have continued to experience a good demand for nearly all descriptions of the more useful Manchester cloths. Gray shirtings of all sorts have sold largely, but demand has been chiefly for best kinds. White shirtings and jaconets in fine qualities have been in good request, but common makes are some what lower in value. Prints and coloured goods gene rally have been doing well; some of the lighter Glasgow fabrics being scarce realized high prices, while others continue much neglected. Mule twist has not shown much alteration, 30s. and common 40a. are, however, a shade lower in v a l ue , an d n ot easy to sell, while 50s. and npward s a r e i n goo d d eman d a t f o rmer rates. Theim provement noticed in our last respecting metals was of very short duration, and at present time the market is dull for all sorts. Gray Shirtings Considerable importations bare come to hand recently, and sales of all sorts since our last amount to about 60,000 pieces. Low reed goods have been too freely supplied, and, in consequence are again of rather less value ; fine and good makes are wanted, and prices for all 66 to 72-reed cloths are fully supported ; 45 inch goods continue eagerly sought after. ... 3 263 chests, 236 chests. Whito Shirtings—A fair demand prevails for good and fine makes, of which the market is only scantily supplied, but low and medium cloths, which we r e sell- ins lately ut Company's rupeos 5 to 5.8 per piece, are quite overdone in quantity, and considerably low in value. - Low prices, however, have failed to tempt buyers to any extent, and the total sales, including all quali ties since our last report, scarcely exceeding 15,000 pieces. Stocks on hand, low and medium quality, are rather large. White Twills—Continue in good demand, and, of course, prices are well supported in the absence of large supplies. Madapollams—There is very little change in reference to grays, but demand is by no means extensive. White goods are interfered with by the low prices of com mon bleached shirtings, so that reported sales do not ex• coed 1,000 pieces; of grays the sales reach to about 7,500 pieces. _ _ Jaconets—Medium and good qualities of grey goods have been in slightly better inquiry, but buyers do not come forward with any spirit, so that sales have been of a very limited nature. Demand for bleached continues good, and, excepting common qualities, prices are very well eupported. White Cambrics—Only about 1,300 pieces of all sorts and widths have found purchasers since our last, and altogether the market continues ♦ery dull. White Figured Cambrics and Shirtings—A fair in quiry exists, and at rather easier rates sales go on pretty readily. Lappets—A few fine and good pattern Swiss makes, sell readily for holiday consumption at fair rates, but all other kinds continue extremely dull and difficult of sale, even at very low prices. Book-muslins—Coarso kinds suitable for Burmah come forward very slowly, and, being much wanted, their value is fully maintained at our former quotations, say lr. 9a. to Ir. 10a. (Company's) per piece for No. 1, of first-rate make. Wide kinds continue in lively de mand. Mull-mulls—There is more inquiry for fine sorts, and a fair amount of business is doing in common descrip- tions. Turkey Red Mulls—Latterly a better feeling has shown itself for these goods, and sales have been made at improved prices. Turkey Red Printed Mulls—Some few good patterns sell pretty readily, but, generally speaking, there is not much doing in these. Turkey Red Twills and Cambrics—Narrow cambrics and wide twills continue to do well, but in others very little has been done. Prints and Chintzes—There is still a good demand for all sorts of Turkey red French chintzJs, also Bengal stripes and neutral chintzes. Most sorts of prints arc now doing better than for some time past, excepting muslin dress pieces, of which the market is overdone. I)hooties and Scarfs—The approaching holidays have caused a more lively demand, and dhooties especially are selling much better this year than they were last. Woollens—There is a moderate demand for the most useful kinds at fair prices. Mule Twist—Late arrivals have added considerably to stocks, but the reported sales since our last issue amount to 803 bales. No. 40's are a shade lower in value, especially inferior qualities, and Nos. 20 and 30 are very little wanted, but all other numbers, particu- larly the high counts, are in brisk demand, and bringing high rates. _ _ Coloured Yarns—Sales of Turkey rcd, as will be seen from the following report have been rather heavy, but there is no improvement in value, and still a great want of animation amongst dealers. Orange is a trifle lower, but green maintains its former value. Copper—At the date of our last report the market for this metal was looking somewhat better, owing to im proved accounts from Mirzapore, but lately it has again become dull, and prices then current have been with difficulty maintained. Present quotations:—Sheathing Company's rs., 40-8 to 40-12; Tile sicca rs., 33-12 to 34; Braziers' Company's rs., 38 to 40 fy. md. Iron—Stocks are heavy, and prices of most sorts have still a downward tendency. Our quotations are,—Sheet Co.'s rs. 4.8 to 4-10; English flat, bar and bolt, Co.'s rs. 2-9 to 2-10; rail-rod Co.'s rs 3-12 to 4 per fy. md. Steel—A sale of 600 mds. Swedish is reported, at 6 Co.'s rs. per fy. md. Lead—This metal continues in fair request. Speller remains much neglected, and its value chiefly nominal; a sale of 1,500 mds. is at length reported, how ever, at Ct. rs. 7-F per fy. mds., but there is a most un example d want of demand for the upper provinces, con sidering the season of the year. Beer—The two principal brands, Allsopp's and Bass's, remain at former value, but are without report of sales. MONEY MARKET. CURRENT VALUE OF GOVERNMENT SECURITIES, BANK STCCB, &C. R. A. R. A.
