EYEBROWS MUSTACHIOS, and WHISKERS produced in a few weeks, and Baldness removed and prevented, by the use of GRIMS TON E'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. If you are in want •f that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer. an lls. bottle of Gemstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read in his pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of William Gemstone, Merchant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th of August, 1846. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or las., which in cludes the postage with the case. The Ils. size contains four of the 4s. A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prom are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause —the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cataract, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 eases of cure being proved by the intormers, still it was an act of oppression; as in 1823 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Hcrries, Esq., to Mr. William Grimstene, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis ters, within the reach of every poor family, But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped. GRIMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters, inclosed in a pamphlet of medical and other testimonials, under the Government order, at Is. lid., 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d. each.

GRIMSTONE.—Sir—I must in justice to you send the fol lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your Eye Snuff in cases of Gutta Serena. I have used it in five cases with the most astonishing benefit and cure. Sir, you may advertise this ! ! or make what use you please. The cures have wholly astonished me and thousands of others.—T ant, Sir, Ste., G. H. BOUTELL, Professor of Galvanism." All letters to Mr. William Grimstene, Herbary, Highgate, near London, at which establishment he continues to manufacture his far-famed HERB TOBACCO, so much esteemed in all foreign parts. The following letter, in testimony of its delightful qualities, is from the author of the " Pleasures of llome :" " Springfield Cottage, Honiton, Devon, 15th August, 1848. " Sir,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I esteem your Herb Tobacco.

I am sure that lovers of mild, fragrant Tobacco would find yours a great and acceptable gift, at a very reasonable price. " I am your obedient servant, " STUART FARQUHARSON, D.C.L.

[PRICE SD. guard of honour en the occasion. The Right Hon. the Governor of Bombay (Lord Falkland) met him on the grand flight of steps in front of the Town Hall, and accompanied him to his seat. his Lord ship had before assigned to his Highness one of his own residences during his stay, and there the Noble Lord took an early opportunity of visiting the prince. Ile was received with kindred state and solemnities similar to those attendant on his visit to the Go vernor of Bombay by the Governor-Ge neral, who also visited him at his residence— both visits of course having been duly returned. His Highness had come to the presidency, where he still remains, to converse with the Governor-General on the construction of forty miles of railway from the seaport of Tankaria to the capital, proposed to be constructed within the Baroda state, to which his Highness is himself chief contributor. Ile is attend-d by a few thousand followers, and at every corner some of his establishment are to be met, the whole presidency being kept in commotion by the gaities of the occasion. Nothing can be more desirable than to get natives to visit the seat of Government, to see with their own eyes the, to them, incredible marches of civilisation. The Guicowar has lived all his days within forty miles of the coast, and till now never saw the sea. He leaves Bombay a week hence on a pilgrimage to his native village in the Deccan, with a retinue of camels, elephants, and horse and foot, such as might have won the smiles of the hero of Somnauth himself—so numerous, so noisy, so senseless, useless, and expensive, is the train. The cold season is now at its coldest, accompanied with the mists usual with us in February. We have just heard of the discovery in Central Africa, lat. 19 deg. S., of a splendid fresh water lake, of which the one shore is invisable from the other. It seems fed by vast rivers, derived apparently from the Snowy Mountains, which reaching the line of perpetual con gelation, in all likelihood border the eastern shores of Africa as the Andes do the western border of America. The existence of these has been long suspected, but so slow are we in matters of research, that though within a week's sail and a fortnight's journey, of these wonders, we have never thought of exploring them. The Itnaum of Muscat some months since applied for the services of a medical man at Zanzibar; so soon as this was heard of application was made to have him instructed in the use of meteorological in struments, and to be the bearer of one set for his own use at Zanzibar, and of another for service at Jo hanna. No notice was taken of the application—the party was dispatched without instruments or instruc tions. Government in this case were in no way to blame. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CALCUTTA MARKETS. ' MONEY MARKET, JAN. 22, 1850.—Since date of our last report, 7th inst., the English mail of the 24th of November has come to hand, reaching town on the 10th instant, a day after the departure of the outword going mail. The departure of the latter has been kept back one day, but the detention did not answer the object desired. This makes the third instance of similar dis appointment within eight months. Although the position of the colonial market was not quite so satisfactory at the time the mail left home as it had been, yet the general prospects of commerce were considerably improved and gave promise of a brighter future. At home peace and order reigned; food was plentiful and cheap, money becoming more and more abundant, and, through easy rates of discount, more ac cessible. Foreign relations were pacific; and as in the continuance of peace at home, so in the permanence of these, general confidence was felt and expectations were entertained of a considerable improvement in trade. The commercial advices by the abore opportunity were not of a character to influence any particular change in the position of our markets; and, consequently we have little alteration to notice. Since the beginning of the month business in the export market has continued doing with spirit, and although operations show a little falling off in extent, it is solely on account of reduced stocks and from no slackness in demand. Owing to the same cause, prices have remained at high figures generally, and at present we see no prospect of material fluctuation. Indigo has continued active, and under the stimulus imparted to it by last advices from home, the market has recovered the spirit and animation with which it opened. Upwards of 90,000 mds., it is calculated, have changed hands of the season's produce, and what re mains we do not expect will show any falling off in prices. In sugars there has teen a more moderate business doing, more particularly since the mail came in; on the strength, however, of an almost exhausted market, holders have bean enabled to obtain full prices in the few transactions which have taken place. The saltpetre market shows no change, but an eager demand still exists for France and North Americe, although during the past week or so less has been on foot for the home market. Prices keep steadily up. In table rice business has not been at all extensive, but, considering the state of the market at home, exports keep pretty well up. In raw silk we have not had much doing, and business has been restricted by the high demands of holders. Operations have been chiefly in Radnagor and Ilurrypaul and Co. Its. 7-8 to 8 6 per br. seer. Cossim bazar Corahs have been remarkably quiet of late, owing to the fesrs entertained in regard to exports, which have been heavy, as also to the high pretensions of holders; prices must, however, give way, as stocks are large and still on the increase. The demand noticed before for oilseeds has been well maintained, and parcels as they offer are readily taken up both of linseed and mustard seed. Jute has also been in good requisition, but since arrival of the mail perhaps a little less has been done in it. The market is, however, by no means less firm. Hides show a little improvement, and a more general business has of late 'been doing in them for England, France, and America. Lac dye and shell lac continue in eicellent demand, and operations have been on a mote extended scale, at a shade of improvement in value. Exchanges—During the last few days a fair business has been doing in exchange on England in first-class paper, which are quoted at Is. 11 2-3 d. to Is, 11Ad. per H. Our quotations are—Treasury bills at 30 days' sight, according to amount, ls. 104 d. to Is. leid. per Co's rupees. Navy Bills at three days' sight at Is. ioi I. to Is. 10-id. per: Co's rupee. Bank ditto at 30 and 60 days' sight at Is. 9Hd. to Is. 93d. per Co's rupee. Oriental Brnk ditto at 6 months' sight at Is. I Id. per Co.'s rupee. Private Drafts against shipments at six month's sight at Is. lid. to Is. I Qd. per Co.'s rupee. Freights—Since our last report the rates of home ward freightage have gone down, and although con signees for a time showed great firmness, yet the scarcity of dead weight at market caused them to yield. Business has not been doing very extensively. THE IMPORT MARKET. For some time there has been apparent a disposition towards improvement, and although generally we are unable to notice any considerable advancr, yet upon the whole the position of the market is a little improvtd. A rumour appears to have gone abroad that Govern ment contemplate an increase of duty on imported ma nufactures and metals, while those on exports are to be abolished. The latter measure cannot but tend mate rially to promote the export trade of the country and develops its internal resources. We have to see how far the former will tend to affect the import trade, and if the consumption of the country is capable of bearing this increased import. British Cotton Piece Goods have been more exten sively placed, and prices here and there are higher by a shade. Manchester Yarns show much improvement, and the market looks up. Metals hare been much more active, although there is not much improvement gene rally in prices. Particulars will be found under the respective heads below. The Money Market—We have nothing cf a novel character to notice in the position of monetary affairs. The most prominent features are overflowing coffers and increasing demand for accommodation for commercial purposes. There is no alteration in the rates of dis count; and although the question was mooted lately of raising the rates of the Bank of Bengal, it was decided against any augmentation. Dividend for the six months ending 31st December, is at the rate of Gi per cent. per annum. Shares are quoted as before, as are all other shares, although these latter are no more than nominal. EXPORTS. This market continues in an exceedingly healthy posi tion, although operations in it have not been quite so extensive as when we last reported. This, however, has been caused less by the want of inquiry than from the absence of adequate supplies of produce at market. Freights have gone further down; but we do not antici pate any increased business on that account as the market at present is more dependent upon the state of supplies. The general features of the market remain unaltered; a good and general demand, moderato sups plies and steady prices. Indigo—The firm tone of this market was beginning to give way when the mail of the 2 ith of Nov. came to hand; since then an active business has been done, and the little ground that was lost is fully recovered, and the tone 01 the market is ns firm as ever. Near a lac of mils. must have changed bands, and it is more than pro bable that little change will transactions during the remainder of the season. France has done a good business and exports to that country amount to 27,000 mds. For North America, Bombay, and the Gulf, a very limited business has been done , nor can we e xpect much help to the market for any cf those places.

(TAMES' S. Edited by J. Bernard Burke ' Esq. The March number of this magazine contains among other interesting heraldic and genealogical information, the genealogy and armorial bearings of all the High Sheriffs of England for the year 1850. The opening paper, " Calverley of Calverley," is a history of the career of the unfortunate Walter Cal verley who, on the sth August, 1604, underwent the peine forte et dure, and was pressed to death at York for refusing to plead to an indictment charging him with the murder of his own children. This biography possesses all the charms of a romance. We have also a curious report of the trial of Haagen Swendsen, Sarah Baynter, and others on the 25th November, 1702, in the Court of Queen's Bench, before Chief Justice bolt, for the abduction of Mistress Pleasant Rawlins, be sides a variety of other interesting papers. SHARPE'S. The "Diary of Mary Powell" being concluded, its author is writing in the pages of Sharpe "Deborah's Diary," the supposed composition of one of Milton's daughters, hence a half-continuation of the beautiful journal of Milton's wife. "Music in its Relation to Religion," being the substance of a lecture by Dr. Cumming, and several other interesting articles, be sides the continuation of the serial tale by the author of " Frank Fairlegh," are to be found in Sharpe for March. The re-publication of " Frank Fairlegh" in a serial form has reached the 14th number. THE NAUTICAL. Besides an excellent paper on the " Proposed Mea sures for the Relief of the Mercantile Marine," the Nautical Magazine contains some most interesting contributions having reference to the missing Arctic expedition. One of these articles is an " Outline of the Recent Voyage of her Majesty's ships Enterprize and Investigator to Barrow Strait in search of Sir John Franklin." Another relates to the projected movements in the same direction for supplying relief to the missing navigators ; and a third has allusion, in a paragraph copied from the Literary Gazette, to the late yacht voyage into the northern seas. THE COLONIAL. Among all the contributions to the March number of this periodical, those most entitled to a careful and reflective perusal are, first, the papers on " Popular Views of Emigration," and secondly, a careful digest of the new Australian Constitution. LEILA. Part llf. By Sir E. B. Lytton. In the March instalment of this excellent re-publi cation of Sir Bulwer Lytton's charming romance of the Siege of Granada, the narrative proceeds as far as the reconciliation established between the Moorish people and their King Boabdil. The engravings, copied from original sketches by Meadows and Ste phanotf, are of the customary merit, representing in one "The Favourite Slave," and in the other The Admonition." THE HISTORY OF PENDENNIS. By W. M. Thackeray. No. XIV . We are in this number re-introduced to Costigan, and also to Colonel Altamont and to the Chevalier Smith. The author elaborates the characters of these two last gentlemen, whom he evidently intends to make of some importance in working out the denoue ment of his plot. The Colonel, for some hitherto unexplained cause, exercises an irresistible influence over Sir Francis Clavering, who seems fast hurrying to ruin, while the Begum, his wife, makes Major Pendennis the confidant of her troubles past and present. THE MORNING CALL. Mrs. Ellis's new magazine is fulfilling the pro mises of its first appearance. The illustrations are good, the tales interesting, and the miscellaneous ar ticles and criticisms very excellent. AINSWORTH'S. Some interesting reflections suggested by "The Last Moments of Falstaff" form an agreeable variety to the contents of Ainsworth's Magazine, which for the most part resemble too nearly the sentimental character of George Sand's compositions, one of which, "The Countess of Rudelstadt," continues from month to month to form part of Ainsworth s. There is little amusement, and less benefit, to be derived from a perusal of such records of exaggerated senti ment and unnatural passion, and we are, therefore, glad to turn from " Valdarno," and " Consuelo," to contemplate " the last moments of Falstaff." " Who doubts," says the writer of this article, " whether Shakespere felt strongly, deeply ? Schiller tells us he doubted it once, but he lived to review and rescind such criticism. The sonnets, so rarely studied of our greatest poet, would surely convert the most dogged sceptic in this matter :—passion, tenderness, enthu siasm, in their intensest form, burst forth therein with an energy which the concentrated weepings and wailings of all our storm and power-men' have never equalled. But for ourselves we are content to abide by Mrs. Quickly's tale of the death of Falstaff as an all-sufficient proof of the warm-heartedness and poignant feeling of William Shakspere. And hard it were, we repeat, to make us believe that he had dry eyes when he committed those words to paper, and bade farewell, a long farewell to so much • greatness.' " The concluding sentence of this paper is eminently truthful:— "Shakspere is the profoundest, but the least obtrusive of moralists. His morals are interwoven with his cha racters, infused into the living presences of his dramatis persona, not framed and glazed into a formal appendix or addendum, fated to be skipped by every ninety-nine readers in a hundred. In this manner ho allures to goodness, and not to what Coleridge aptly calls goody ness. He could see a moral even in Poor Jack' as he bade him farewell—and the same is possible for us as we do likewise." THE ART-JOURNAL. Immediately the collection of paintings at the Vernon Gallery has been exhausted as a means of affording subjects for the engraver, the subscribers to the Art-Journal will have reason to regret that cir cumstance. The illustrations to the March number taken from that noble gift to the nation are Pickers gill's " Syrian Maid," Mulready's inimitable " Last In " and Turner's " Grand Canal—Venice." In addition to these brilliant attractions we must also particularise Mrs. S. C. Hall's " Pilgrimage to the tomb of William Penn." The remainder of the con tributions Are as usual, commendable. MISCELLANEOUS. The most interesting article in the Anglo-Saxon is a review of the literary compositions of Alfred the Great. The following sentence which occurs in his writings was literally fulfilled by the good King : "This I csn most truly say, that I have desired to live worthily while I lived, and after my life to leave to the men that should he after me my remembrance in good works." In his preface to his translation of " Gregory's Pastoral Care," Alfred has left this testi• mony to the illiterate state of his subjects, more es pecially in the south :—" There have been very few on this side of the Humber who were able to understand the English of their service, or to turn an epistle out of Lati❑ into English ; and I know there were not , many beyond the 1111 robe; who could do it. Where NEW MUSIC. " The Ingle-Side." Poetry by Eliza Cook; composed by W. H. Aldridge. Those who have listened to and loved the - song of " The Old Arm Chair," will welcome the publication of another ballad by the same popular authoress. The words are doubtless already familiar to most of our readers, therefore we need hardly pause to observe they are in every way worthy of their gifted authoress. The music is pleasing, and happily in keeping with the spirit of the song; the air, which is the same in the three verses, has beauty of its own, and is one which will haunt the memory after being once heard. expressive. The This " Beneath thy Casement." The Words by Wallbridge L s u e n r n en ; ad th e e M is us sp ic ir b i y t e dHeannrdy C. Lunn. words are melodious, and the accompaniment, which has a flowing softness of character, is occasionally varied by a bar or two of the brilliant staccato move ment. "Gay Lark" and " Let us be Joyous." The Words by Wallbridge Lunn; the Music by John Ashmore. Two very charming b a llads, the first arranged in flats, the key of E major, the second in C major. They are sprightly, graceful, and within the compass of most ordinary voices. " Gay Lark" in particular is a felicitous adaptation of the words. It combines melody, freshness, and s entiment. ." Let us be Joyous," as its name would indicate, is on the whole of a livelier strain, yet not the less graceful. '' Christian Virtues," Nos. 1., .1.1., and III.—" Hu- " Fortitude," and " Pity." These form a series of sacred songs, written by Fanny E. Lacy, composed by Montague Corri. We scarcely know which to commend the most—poet, or composer—there is such apparent equality between them. The style of these songs, as their titles be speak, is essentially sacred, and as such not the less welcome, seeing how few of this class claim public attention. We have songs, ballads, serenades, polkas, waltzes, springing up at all hands, fresh and plentiful as the sounds of approaching summer ; but seldom or never have we our ears greeted with solemn melodies such as we are now called upon to notice. The sym phonies of each of these songs are characteristic, and arranged with a tasteful simplicity; while the three frontispieces are of themselves a guarantee of public favour. We shall hope to see the series continued. Adieu, ye Woods." The Words by Waabridge Lunn; the Music by . John Ashmore. Here we have a song thai takes our fancy captive at once, and every note of which finds its echo in the heart, arranged in three flats. It commences with the andante movement, which is pathetically sus tained throughout. "Peace to Thee," and "No Form but Thine," also written by Wallbridge Lunn, and composed by Henry C. Lunn, are of the same class, and in no way inferior. " Peace to Thee" has a peculiar attraction about it from its earnest and touching sadness ; it is pensive without being doleful, and has simplicity devoid of feebleness. Another re commendation attached to this ballad we cannot pass over unnoticed, this is its conciseness ; it consists of only two verses. Thus we unhesitatingly aver its beauty to be enhanced, for how numerous are the songs which, though sweet in themselves, now fail to please from the ill-judged length to which they are extended. '' The Farewell Lay." The Poetry from Words worth : the Music by F. Haines, author of " Lov'd Home." This charming little ditty should immediately oc cupy a place in the drawing-rooms of our accom plished countrywomen. The words are all that we might expect from the muse of Wordsworth, and are infinitely enhanced by the maze of "sweet sound " by which they are now surrounded. Mr. Frederick Haines in this, " The Farewell Lay," exhibits as much taste as he does skill, and has every reason to congratulate himself upon a most successful essay. COURT CIRCULAR.

We have received by express from Marseilles our dispatches in anticipation of the overland mail, which left Bombay on the 4th ult., and Calcutta on the 22d of January. The chief event of the fortnight which has elapsed since our last intelligence has been the Governor- General's visit to Bombay. Having journeyed from Simla through the Punjab and Scinde, he arrived there on the night of the 26th of January, and left on 2d of February, having during his stay won golden opinions of all sorts of people. The Chief of Baroda, his Highness the Guicowar —the first prince in Western India—was at Bombay on a visit ; he was escorted by about a thousand horse and foot, with troops of elephants and camels. He bad been most graciously received both by the Governor and Governor-General. There had been a slight disturbance at Lahore — some half-dozen of Seikhs, who have all been killed, having run a-muck. India was perfectly tranquil throughout. The Governor-General was on his way to Ceylon and the Straits. The Governors of Bombay and Madras were at their respective presidencies. The Bombay papers are filled with details of the ceremonies at which Lord Dalhousie was welcomed on his arrival, and with addresses and replies pre sented and delivered upon every possible occasion. These are all in the ordinary complimentary style, and contain nothing worth extracting. (From the Overland Bombay Times, Feb. 4.) Summane.—The statement in our last Overland summary, furnished us by an officer under Colonel Bradshaw, that several women had been burnt in the village of Sunghao, when set fire to by our troops, proves unfounded. Only two women were left behind by their people : one was killed by a shell before the troops entered—the other was placed by Colonel Lawrence himself on a trooper's horse, and rescued from the conflagration. But few occurrences of public interest have come to our knowledge during the fortnight. The Bombay troops had all left Peshawur before the 15th January, with the exception of the 3d Native Infantry. Perfect tranquillity had followed the recent expedition into the Eusufzaie country, and crowds of people, with merchandise, from Caboul, were daily snaking their appearance. Dost Mahomed was said to be in mor tal fear of our again penetrating the Passes, and had made his arrangements to seek refu ge i n Khooloorn in case of our advance. There had been heavy rain all over the Punjaub as well as throughout the north-west provinces, betwixt the sth and 12th January; the storm crisis of the 9th had been experienced from Cochin, Cutch, and Kurrachee, all along the line of the Indus, and across through Central India as far south as Bareilley. Sir C. Napier was pursuing his course northward : by last accounts he was about half way from Lahore, everything was inspected by him with the greatest care as he went, and most things condemned or censured. The extreme violence of his censures after the Lahore review is generally con demned. Rumours prevailed as to the perfidy of Ali Moored beginning to make its appearance. The only thing surprising is that such a traitor to his own country and race should so long have kept up the show of fidelity to any one. The conduct of the Khan of Bahawuipore, who so promptly sent succour to Moultan in May, and has on all occasions acted so honourably towards us, especially in the time of difficulty, has been rewarded for the services of his troops with 60,0001. in cash, being 10,000/. for each month his army kept the field, and 10,0001. as a stipend for life : the allowance is liberal, but it is well deserved, and it no more becomes a great power like England to chaffer with its friends than to tamper with or truckle to its enemies. The treatment of Drs. Campbell and Hooker, by the Raja of Sikkim, seems to have been as barbarous as it was unprovoked. They arrived at Darjeeling under an escort of the Bhaugulpore Hill Rangers. The Governor-General had written a very threatening letter to his Highness, who was said to be terribly alarmed. His only safety consists in the inaccessibility and worthlessness of his possessions. The season of rain on the Coroman del coast is now over, and the fall had been still more defective in the south-east than it was super abundant in the north-west of India. Mr. Dickin son, member of the Council at Madras, who tendered his resignation in consequence of sickness, changed his mind and intimated his purpose to remain, just as his expected successor, Mr. Thomas, was about to be sworn in. The visits of the Governor-General of India, and the Ruler of Barods, to Bombay, have constituted the great events of the month. The health of the Marquis of Dalhousie has been so much im paired that he was advised to try the effects of sea air ; in November, as the cold weather began to set in, he began to get better. He then resolved to pro ceed to Bombay, examining the lower Punjaub and Sinde on his way. Strength increasing by exercise and change of air, he visited in person every part as he proceeded, from Umritsir and Lahore down wards. He reached Kurrachee on the 22d, and Bombay on the 26th January, leaving us on the Ist February, after a six days' sojourn. During his stay he visited our dockyards, factories, hospitals, schools, and seminaries of learning, examining every object that presented itself with the utmost at. tention. He held a levee for the European com munity the day after his arrival—a durbar for the natives the second day after this. He received the Guicowar and suite in form at the Town Hall, and afterwards visited his Highness at his place of resi dence. He was met by a complimentary address by the whole community, a separate one from the Ma sonic brethren—was presented with a memorial from the whole of the European and a large number of the native merchants—was present at an examination of the alumni of the Elphinstone College, where he dis tributed the prizes, and examined the Grant Medical College, the Jamsetjee Hospital, and Dhurruinsalla. He afterwards sailed across to the island of Elephanta and examined the far-famed caves—bestowing every moment at his command during his residence on some worthy purposes. Every evening during his stay there was a party awaiting him of from fifty to a hundred guests at Farrell. To every one with whom he came in contact he made himself most agreeable, and he leaves us after having won golden opinions of all sorts of people. Not confining himself to the common-place topics of the sights he had seen, or the occurrences he had met with at Bombay, or on his journey thither, the Governor- General entered most fully on all the great subjects of interest connected with the policy of the Govern. went, the position, and the prospects of India. He courted opportunities of learning the opinions of others, and of explaining his own ; and to those who had chanced to hare had occasion to address him since his arrival in India on any subject whatever, he at once spoke of the matter, showing that there was no letter sent to him passed over by bim unread, no matter of business left to the disposal of underlings, and nothing which he had ever examined had escaped his recollection. Fearless frankness and decision, with the other characteristics of real greatness, were stamped on all his conversations. He obviously seized with alacrity on the occasion presented by the address of the community, to proclaim his anxiety for the maintenance of peace ; and while he declared the first duty of Government to be the improve ment of the country, not one whisper was uttered about the consolidation of our empire, the strengthening of our frontier, or the excuses for the wicked and wasteful wars on which our revenues and our character have so often been perilled. The atrocious doctrines about maintaining India by the sword as it had been won by the sword, or of the proper place of the Governor-General being by the side of the Commander-in-Chief, seemed as if they hud belonged to a former generation instead of being not yet six years old. His Lordship carried out the proverb of " like master like man." Sir Henry Elliot, the chief secretary in attendance, is one of the most able financiers and distinguished Oriental scholars of whom India boasts. It was his talents and accomplishments that secured Mr. Courtenay the po4 of private secretary. Captain Reinsay, cousin of the Noble Marquis, Bed now military secretary, was well known for his gentlemanly bearing wh en on the staff of Sir W. Cotton and Sir G. R. Cella Major Fane's exploits in leading into action a corps which had lost nearly all its officers are well known. Captain Bowie distinguished himself as assistant to Colonel Lawrence. Captain Metcalfe, son of the illus trious nobleman of that name, seems not to have gone without a heritage. Dr. Grant, the medical attendant on the Marquis, is well known as a naturalist and man of great talent ; so that of all his followers none were without a name. Just before his departure the Noble Marquis presented 1001. to the District Bene volent Society, and 501. to the Masonic Charity Fund, On the day of the advent of the Governor-General, the Guicowar, or Chief of Baroda, the most import ant prince in Western India, made his appearance amongst us. He was received with royal salutes and the other honours due to his rank, the whole of the native troupe at the presidency being out with a IMPORTS. The last fortnight shows a decided improvement in the position of this branch of our trade; and operations, although not very heavy, are yet on a more liberal scale, and, in some instances, at better prices. Generally speaking, however, the market is not charactised by much animation, and there is much room for improve merit. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS. FROM JANUARY 17 TO FEBRUARY 2, INCLUSIVE. BOMBAY, SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 2.-Our money market still continues iu an uneasy and unsettled state— nor do we think it likely to be otherwise for some time to come, Gs:rap:trout §9culitiva paN,cipitto ill the ge neral uneasiness alluded to, and there are v ary sew buyers at the quotations given in our prices current, Bank Shares maintain their value, and the busin ess done both in Oriental and Commercial has been very cons& derable. The former have been selling at 181- to 1.414, and the latter at 14 t o 15 p er cent . di scount . We hAve rused with much satisfaction the report receives( by lug mail from the Oriental Bank board in London;, not that we have any interest in the concern, but because we think it likely to dispel much, if not all, of that unwarranted gloom which hung over the minds of some of the share. holders here. Doubtless a great deal of the success which has hitherto attended the operations cf this bank is due to the management in Bombay, which we believe to have been characterized by the most consummate skill and ability. Our market for imports is in a very unsatisfactory state at present, with little prospect of any immediate improvement. The native dealers complain of the total want of inquiry in the bazaar—in fact, that they cannot sell even at reduced prices; this is caused by the unfa veurable accounts received from the up -country markets, all of which are stated to be over -supplied ; and till these stocks are reduced, few orders will be sent for further : supplies. Our only hope is that some demand w',ll spring up after the ilooley holidays that take place at the end of the month, but the supply of goods on the way will effectually prevent any improvement in prices, which, indeed, are not likely to be imintained. Very little has been dere in the export market during the fortnight, oe except in opium, which has b een purchased to m extent. There is a report that the G overnment is s about to increase the import duties by 3 per cent., via , from 5 per cult. to 8. . _ _ Cotton Piece Goods—Large stocks of all kinds con• tinue on dealers' and importers' hands, and the demand continues as dull as at last report. Grey Jacconets are scarcely inquired for, and we have no sales to report. Lladapollams are nearly as dull of sale, only 3,000 pieces coarse having been disposed of, at Rs. 2 7i annaa per piece. Domestics have given way. 628 pieces have been sold at from Rs. 11i to per piece. Skirtings have been sold to the extent of 2,250 pieces, at from Its. 5} to Rs. 7 per piece. 60 reed qualities continue steady in price; while 48 1 56 reed 40-inch have become Fio dull that a reduction of a couple of annas per piece must be submitted to to effect sales, and 45-inch with difficulty command the rates mentioned in last report. Long Cloths: Of these, 7,359 pieces have been sold, at from rupees 4 1-16 to rupees 5/. The qualities sought after are those usually purchased for the purpose of being dyed and exported to Sinde and Arabia, but even for these a reduced rate is offered. Heavy T cloths come under the same remarks as regards price, while the lighter makes find no purchasers. Bleached Jacconets have receded in value, and are in tolerably good inquiry. Madapollams and Domestics are uninquired for, with heavy stocks. 150 pieces shirtings have been disposed of at Rs. 6i per piece. The remarks made on Grey apply also to Bleached Shirting'. Of Longcloths we bare no sales to report. Twilled Cloth has declined, and there is little inquiry for it even at the reduced rates. Lappets have sold to the extent of 993 pieces, at from Rs. 1 : 13 annas to Rs. 2: 9 annas. For low Jacconets, Satin Spots, and Stripes, there is some demand. Dyed Goods: Starched Mulls are in moderate inquiry, and Twilled Cloths are inquired for to a con siderable extent, with small stocks. Prints of suitable designs continue in active demand. Of Turkey Red Plain Cloth first hands are bare, but the bazaar dealera are pretty well supplied. Cotton Yarns—The sales since our last amount to r.O more than nine bales Mule, and 110 bales Water Twilit. Nos. 30 and 50 Mule, and 40 Water, are scarce, and are those most in demand. Nos. 20 Mule and 20 and 30 Water are uninquired for: indeed the demand for nearly all descriptions is extremely limited. Turkey Red of first quality (Scotch) is in good demand, while the rate for Orange has declined, and Green is not asked for.-- Sales:— 50 bales Water Twist, 200 lbs. eacb, Nos. 20, 22, 24, 2a, 28, at annas 6i• 30, at annas per lb. 60 bales Watcr i'wist 300 lbs. each, No. 20, at annas, si; 30, at annas 73 per lb. 9 bales Mule Twist, 200 lbs. each, No. 30, at annas per lb. 10 cases, containing 2,000 lbs., Ball Thread, Nos. 20 an 100, at annas 13 per lb. Woollens—Flannels still continue scarce and in de mend. Cloths have sold to a fair extent. Metals—Prices of nearly all descriptions of metal have given way. Copper—Of this metal large stocks exist, and there is but little demand for any description. Iron —British Bar, Sheet, Hoop, and Nail Rod, share in the general decline and want of inquiry. Swedish Bar Iron, Pig and Sheet Lead, and Swedish Steel, are also i n the same state. Tin Plates are heavy in stock, and sales cannot be effected. Saffron—Thepriceof this article has fallen of late. Cochineal—NUtwithstanding the advance in the price of this article in England, it has been sold here during the fortnight at a ruinous rate—viz. 4,0001b5. silver at Rs. 21-; 3,0001b5. at Rs 2i, and 5001bs. at Rs. 2: 6i as. per lb. Beer—Very little doing. The only sales we have heard of have been 15 hhds. Bass, at Rs. 45, and 15 hhcls. Sacell (Paisley) arid Co., at Rs. 30, per hhd. Of All• sopp's the market is completely bare. Spirits—We have only heard of a sale of 200 fifteen bottle cases of Gin, at 14 rupees per case. This spirit is in good demand, while Brandy c on tinues dull and neglected. A slight inquiry exists for Jamaica Hum. IVine-10 butts Sherry have been sold at Es. 350 per butt. _ _ Marine Stores—Sales to a moderate extent in Pitch, Tar, and Paints, have had effect. A slight improve ment has taken place in Cordage, and Canvas is in moderate request. Spirits of Turpentine are dull of sate, vk bile Oil of Linseed is in demand. Paints are less inquired kr. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The purchases during the fortnight amount to 3,625 bales and 2,250 candies. Shortly atter the arrival of the English mad the price of Compta slightly improved, but it has again begun to fall. Tho value of Dhollera increased by a few rupees per candy after the arrival of the China mail, and has maintained its price ever since. Jumbooseer and New Broach to arrive in March have been purchased in those districts at lip. 95 and 94 per candy respectively. A quantity of new Candeisb, just arrived, has sold at Es. 88 per candy. Pepper-100 candies Bhutcoll have been purchased at Rs. 58 per candy. Opium—Malwa maintains its former value, and the quantity shipped monthly continues large—more offer ing for dispatch by the I'. and 0. Co.'s steamers than can be taken on. The Indian Times gives the following as the results of the last Calcutta sale:— The third Opium sale of this season was held on the 21st Jan., at the Exchange, at noon. The following were the results:— Chests. Highest. Lowest. Average. Proceeds. Behar... 1,990 1,025 1,005 1,018-12.3 20,27,350 Benares. 865 1,020 1,015 1,017-5-11 8,80,025 The salo consisted of 2,855 chests, which realised Rs. 29,07,375, showing a fall of Rs. 35-10 in Behar, and Rs. 28 11-10 in Benares. FREIGHTS. have been very dull throughout the past fortnight. There was a slight improvement in the rates about a e , 2k ago, but they have since declined, and we cannot quote them higher now than 3/. ss. to London, and 31. 2s. 6d. per ton to Liverpool, at which there is next to nothing offering. To China, engagements have been made at Rs. 111 rer candy. EXCHANGE.—A fair supply of bills came on from China by last steamer, and in consequence of the rate here having advanced to 4s. 6d. per dollar, the recipients hero could afford to part with their bills at a cheaper rate than has been current in Bombay for some years. We have thus, at length, to announce an advance in the rate for six months' sight paper to 2s. to 2s. Old. per rupee. At the former some heavy purchases have been made, but prices are again more in favour of seller', and we cannot quote higher this evening than Is. Hid. to 2s. Both bunks have been in the market as sellers at 2s. per rupee six months' sight. Calcutta bills are lower now than we ever remember them. We quote sixty days' sight at 98, thirty days' at 98k, and sight bills at 99 per Re. 100. GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND.—Wednesday after noon an adjourned meeting of the directors and sub scribers took place at the Lyceum, Mr. Worrell in the chair, for the purpose (among others) of 'confirming the minutes of the previous annual meeting, at which Mr. Buckstone presided, and also to receive the treasurer's balance-sheet, made up to the 13th of last month, from which it appeared that the receipts, including members' subscriptions, 411/. 3s. lld •, .profit of the anniversary festival at the London Tavern (exclusive of arrears), 283/.

Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Co lonial-office for the Governors of Malta, Ceylon, and Hong-Kong, and the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. THE THAMES TUNNEL.—This work of art has lately been beautified by the aadditionof a series of fre sco paintings by B. . which are introduced in the panels of the shafts. They consist of views of v a r i ous parts of the country, showing off the tunnel to advantage. 'tow , DISPENSARY FOR, DISEASES OF THE EAR. —The annual meeting of the p atrons and governors of this institution was held on 'Wed nes d ay i n Dean-street, Sohn. The chair was taken b y t h e Reverend Mr.' hale, in the absence of Alderman Sidney, M.P. The secretary read the report, which set forth the progress and present state of the charity, from which it appeared that relief had during the past year been afforded to a more than usual number of patients ; upwards of 800 of the poorer classes had been attended to, and very beneficial results had ensued from the exertions of Mr. Harvey, the medical superintendent, and his assistants. The funds cf the institution were, in great want of the aid of the benevolent, increasing claims having nearly exhausted them. Several medical gentlemen addressed the meeting, after which the report was adopted unanimously. A vote of thanks was passed for her Majesty the Queen, for' Prince Albert, and the King of the Belgians, for their liberal support. A vote of thanks was also passed for Mr. Harvey, and for the chairman; after which the meeting broke up. 7 GREAT ExHIRITION of INnusTur or A LL A.TIONS. —We understand that an influential meeting is about to be held in the borough of Marylebone, at which Lord Portman will preside; and that Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., Sir B.
