Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 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 Herries, Fsq., to Mr. William Grimstone, bearing date 18tk February, 1525.

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. He 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. He is attended 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 cf 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 hare 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 invisible 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 Iwaum 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 meteorologicalin struments, and to be the bearer of one set for his own use at Zanzibar, and of another for service at Jo henna.- 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. CALCU TTA MARKETS. MONEY MARKET. JAN. 22, IBso.—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 if the lean- 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 kit 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 reignerl; 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 ►he continuance of peace at home, so in the Ferroarrence of these, general confidence was felt and expectations wets entertained of a considerable improvement in trade. The commercial advices by the above opportunity wet e not of a character t, influence any particular change in the position of our markets; and, come quently we have little alteration to notice. Sinco 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 st.icks 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 been a more moderate business doing, more particularly since the mail came in; on the strength, however, ef an almost exhausted market, holders have been enabled to obtain full prices in the few transactions which have taken place. The saltpetre market shows no change, but an eager dema"d still exists for France and North Americo, 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 ITurrypaul and Co. Rs. 7-8 to 8 6 per br. seer. Cossim bazar Corahs have been remarkably quiet of late, owing to the fears 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 bsen 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 fur England, France, and America. Lac dye and shell lac continue in excellent demand, and operations have been on a more extended scale, at a shade of improvemert in value. Exchanges—During the last fee, days a fair business has been doing in exchange on England in first-class paper, which are quoted at Is. I 1 2-3 d. to Is. II d. per R. Our quotations are—Treasury bills at 30 days' sight, according to amoun►, Is. Hied. to Is. IGid. per Co's rupee!. Navy Bills at three days' sight at Is. 101 I. to Is, 10Id. per; Cu'. rupee.

Private Drafts against shipments at six month's sight at Is. ?Lip. to Is. 1141 d. per Co.'s rupee. Freights—Since our last report the rates of home ward freightage have gone down; and although con signees fir a time showed great firmness, yet the sear-city of dead weight at market caused them to yieds Business has not been doing very extensively. THE IMPORT MARKLT. For some time there has been apparent a disposit'on towards improvement, and although generally we are unable to notice any considerable advance, yet upi n tt e whole the position of the market is a little improve-d. 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 fir the former will tend to la ct the import trade, and if the consumption of the country is capable of bearin4 this increased import. British Cotton Piece Goods have been more ex!el sively placed, and prices here and there are higher by a shade. Manchester Yarns show much improvement, and the market looks up. Metals have been much more Raise, although there is not much improvement gene rally in prices. Particulars will be wand 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 increaeing remand 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 rats of 6i per cent. per annum. Shares are quoted es be fore, as acre all other sharer, although these latter are no mare than nominal. 1)R. C[JLVERWELL'S NEW WORKS.

THE ST. JAMES'S. Edited by J. Bernard Burke, Esq. The March number of this magazine contains among other interesting heraldic and genealogical infeirmation, 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 Holt, for the abduction of Mistress Pleasant RawlinF, be sides a variety of other interesting papers. SIIARPE' 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 careftil and reflective perusal are, first, the papers on " Popular Views of Emigration," and secondly, a careful digest of the new Australian Constitution. LEILA. Part 111. 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 phanoff, 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 Fist 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. AINSWOI?TH'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 art 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 : " bhakspere is the profoundest, but the least obtrusive of moralists. his morals arc interwoven with his cha racters, infused into the living presences of his dramatis persorue, 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 be allures to goodness, and not to what Coleridge aptly calls goody ness. He could rise a moral even in • Poor Jack' as he bade him farewell—and the same is possible for us as we do likewise." THE ART-JOURI V AL. Immediately the COHeelion - of pa!intings at the Vernon Gallery has been exhausted as a means of affording subjects for the engraver, the subscribers to the Art-Journal will ha ve reason t o regret that cir cumstance. The illustrations to the March number taken from that noble gifc to the uatioa are Pickers gill's " Syrian Maid," Mulreadv's inimitable " Last In" and Turner's " Grand 'Canal—Venice." In addition to these brilliant attractifoas we must also particularise Mrs. S. C. Hall's " Pilgrimage to the tomb of William Penn." The remcinder of the con tributions arc as usual, commendable, :MISCELLANEOUS. Tho most interesting article in tLe 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 lean most truly say, that I have desired to live worthily while I lived, and after my life to leave to the men that should be after me my remembrance in good works." In his preface to his translation of " Gregory's Pastoral Care," Alfi•ed 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 Latin into English ; and I know there were not many beyond the Humber who could do it. There NEW MUSIC. " The lagle-Side."• Poetry by Eliza C 0011; 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. " Beneath thy Casement." -The Words by Wallbridge Lunn ; the Music by Henry C. Lunn. This serenade is spirited and expressive. The 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 Wal!bridge Lunn; the Music by John Ashmore. Two very charming ballads, 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 Lsrk" in particular is a felicitous adaptation of the words. It combines melody, freshness, and sentiment. " Let us be Joyous," as its name would indicate, is on the whole of a livelier strain, yet not the less graceful. 3 Christian Virtues." A' os. and III.—" Ha • These f( m )r i m litY a i" seri es Fortitude," of s re a d nd s ' o ' n P gs it , y.'' written by Fanny E. Lacy, composed by Montague Corri. We scarcely know which to commend the most—poet, or sacred 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 Wallbridge Lunn; the Music by John Ashmore. Here we have a song that 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 Lf 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 its beauty two verses. Thus we unhesitatingly aver 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* 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.

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 22i 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 26. h of January, and left on 2d of February, having during his stay won golden opinions of all sorts of people. The Chief cf Baroda, his Highness the Guicowar —the first prince in Western ludia—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.) SUMMARY.—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`Bbmbay troops had all left Peshawur before the 15th January, with the exception of the 31 Native Infantry. Perfect tranquillity had followed the recent expedition into the Eusufzaie country, and crowds of people, with merchandise, from Caboul, were daily making their appearance. Dost Mahomed was. said to be in mor tal fear of our again penetrating the Panes, and had made his arrangements to seek refuge in Khooluom 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 halt' way from Lahore, everything was inspected by him with t he 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 Mooned 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 Bahawulpore, who so promptly sent succour to Moulta❑ 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 60,000/. in cash, being 10,0001. for each month his army kept the field, and 10,000/. 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 f4ll 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 Barode, 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 weath e r began t o se t 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 r I 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. tendon. He held a levee fur 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 cf 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 Dhurrumsalla. 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 • , ment, 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 him 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 rf pecce ; and while he declared the first they 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 had belonged to a former generation instead of being not yet six years old. His Lordship carried out the proverb of "like master like man." Su. Henry Elliot, the chief secretary in attendance, is one of the most able financiers and distinguished (Mental scholars of whom India boasts. It was his talents and accomplishments that secured Mr. Courtenay the post of private secretary. Captain Reiman cousin of the Noble Marquis and now military s ecre t ary , w as well known for his gentlemanly bearing when on the staff of Sir W. Cotton and Sir G. R. Clerk. Major Pane's exploits in leading into action a corps which had lost nearly all its officers are well known. Captain Bogie distinguished himself as assi3tant 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 100/. 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 j native troops at the presidency being out with a EXPORTS. This marketcontinues in an exceedingly healthy posi tion, although operations in it have not been how quite so extensive as when we last reported. T been caused loss by the want of inq u i ry than however, has the absence of adequate supplies o f p ro d uce at market. Fei g r lit au s y h a i v n e gone c ren se dfurtherb usibusiness e ss down; o b n th u a t t we d account on o t antici pateas the market at present is more dependent upon the state of supplies. The general features of the market remain unaltered; a goad and general demand, moderate sup plies and stce.dy prices. Indigo—The firm tone of this market was beginning to give way when the mail of the 24th 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 of the market is as firm as ever. Near a lac of Inds. must have changed handf, and it is more than pro bable that little change will mark transactions during the remainder of the season. France has done a good business sad exports to ill:A country amount to 27,000 mds. For North America, Bombay, and the Gulf, a very limited business has been done, nor can wo expect much help to the market fur any of those places. IMPORTS. The last fortnight shows a decided improvement in the position of this branch of our trade; and operations, although not very heavy, aro 3et 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 ment. REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS. FROM JANUARY 17 TO FEBRUARY 2, INCLUSIVE. BOMBAY, SATURDAY EVENING, FEB. 2.—Our ;;Taey market still continues in an uneasy and unsettled state— nor du we think it likely to be otherwise for some time to come Government Securities partioipme in the ge- / 1 ~c , ;era uneasiness andel , and there are very few uyers at the quotation iven in our prices entrant. Bank Shares mai ta . heir value, and the business done both in Oriental and Commercial has been very consi derable. The former have been selling at 181 to 18k, and the latter at 14 to 15 per cent. discoutie ,Wes have pee rased with mach satisfaction the report.ree,eived bilist mail from the Oriental Bank board in London; mot that we have any interest in the concern, but because we think is likely to dispel much, if not all, of that unwarranted gloom which hung over the minds of some of the share• holders here. D oubtless a great de.el of he success which has hitherto attended the operati o ns , f this bank 14 due to the management in Bombay, which we believe to have been characterzA by the; most o nstuntnate skill and ability. Oar 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 se:l even at reduced prices; this is caused by the unfa vourable 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 will 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 maintained. Very little has been done in the export market during the fortnight, except in opium, which has been purchased to some extent. There is a report that the Government is about to increase the import duties by 3 per cent., via s from 5 per cent. 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 lastreport.

Long Cloths: Of these, 7,359 pieces have been sold, at from rupees 4 1-16 to rupees q. 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. IleavyT cloths come under -the same remarks a s r egar d s 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 shillings have been disposed of at Rs. 61 per piece. The remarks made on Grey apply also to Bleached Shillings. Of Longcloths we have no sales to report. Twilled Cloth has declined, and there is little inquiry for it even at the reduced rates.

Spirits of Turpentine are dull of sale, while Oil of Linseed is in demand. Paints are less inquired for. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool—The purchases during the fortnight amount to 3,625 bales and 2,250 candies. Shortly atter the arrival of the English mail the price . of Cornpta slightly improved, but it has again begun to fall. The value of llhollera 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 t• arrive in March have been purchased in those districts at Rs. 95 and 94 per candy respectively. A quantity of new Candeish, just arrived, has sold at Rs. 88 per candy.

To China, enBagements have been made at Rs. 111 rer candy.
