ItUNSIAN PRECAUTIONS.—The Berlin National
Zeitung has letters from the frontiers of Poland of the 4th
inst., stating that shire the events in France a strong mili-
tary force has been brought together on the borders be-
tween Russian and Prussian Poland. Eight Russian regi-
ments, both cavalry and artillery, aro stationed on the
frontiers of the province of l'oaen, and the authorities aro
ordered to use the strictest supervision over all travellers
entering Russia. The picketsof Cossacks at the first Rus-
sian barrier are doubled, and travellers are accompanied by
a military escort to the Custom-house station. They
there undergo a rigorous examination. The description in
the passport is carefully compared with the person bearing
it, and in doubtful cases the list of suspected and proscribed
individuals is referred to, and a special report made of
all travellers proceeding to Warsaw. The high road from
Posen to this city is strongly quartled; the little town of
Blupee, a mile beyond the frontier, is the last station of the
Prusaian post, and this place is surrounded by a triple cor-
don of cavalry. All the l'ulish hotels are placed under spe-
cial control. Large msgaxincs of provisions and forage are
collected tram the surrounding country, and, notwithstanil,
bag the good harvest, the export of rye and oats is pro-
hibited. These extraordinary precautions have created
among the populstion, a vast number of whom cannot read;
an impression that somewhere in the world a dangerous re-
volution has broken out, or that a war is impending. Of
the march of large bodies of Russian troops (ram the into-
rior
towards the western frontier, described by some of the
German journals, nothicg was known in Poland itself.
AMERICIN FIRK-.titYß FUR THY. CAPE. —II,"
Lords Ciimmissioners of her Majesty's Treasury have caused
Mir Charles Trevelyan to communicate to the commis-
sioners of customs their lordships' desire for immediate
directions to he given for permitting f'olonel Colt to export
to the Cape of flood Hope certain cases containing about
four hundred and tiftv revulving fire-arms of various 'ices,
with the bullet moulds, &c., complete, now in the Greet
Exhibition in Ilyile.park, the same Icing intended fur the
use of officers serving in that colony.

INDIA.

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

We have received, via Trieste, news from Bombay
to 17th Dec., and Calcutta, 6th I)ec.
The following is taken from the Bombay Times of
December 17th:—

"There is very little news to communicate by the I
present mail which will be likely to interest the
European reader. The latest intelligence respecting
the movements of the naval expedition to Rangoon
is supplied to us in the Calcutta papers of the 11th
inst. from which it appears likely that somethng
warlike may. be expected to arise out of Commodore
Lambert's visit to that quarter. The lion. Com-
pany's steamer Prosperine returned to Calcutta on
the sth inst., from Rangoon tho 28th ult., and Cap-
tain Latter, who has come on in that vessel, has
brought despatches which it seems are nut of so
pacific a character as had been expected. We
learn that Commodore Lambert's demands have
been forwarded from Rangoon to the Burmese
Court, and a period of 35 days has been allowed
for an arrangement. The force under Brigadier
Sir Cohn Campbell is still at Nlichenee, but
there has been no fighting. The new fort is fast
approaching completion. The latest news front the
camp is to the 2:kl ultimo, at which date there was
nothing new to communicate. Sumo Khyberries
had attacked the house of the sergeant-major of her
Majesty's 61st Foot within the Peshawar canton-
ments, which proves the audacity of these people
and how necessary it is to be on the alert to keep
them down. They first set fire to the house, and then
discharged a volley from their matchlocks through
the doors and windows—fortunately with no very
serious effect: a comrade of the sergeant-major,
who was asleep in the house and received a ball through
his cheek, was the only person wounded, The cow-
ardly villains, however, having discovered a poor,
grass-cutter asleep in the veranda, shot him
through the heart. The alarm being given, the
Khylierries retreated after firing a second volley,
without doing further mischief. Dust Ma-
hornet of Cabool, and the Mahrajah fiholab
Singh of Jamoo, are both still alive, notwithstand-
ing tne recent confident predictions that their end
was so near. The field force of Mooltan has been
placed is readiness for immediate service, for the
coercion, as is supposed, of the arch-traitor Ali
Moored, of Khyrpore, who seems at length to have
been caught in a trap of his own making. It is
rumoured that the Governor-General has intimated
to this chief that it is his intention to compel hint to
make restitution of certain territory which lie has
hitherto claimed as his own under a title now proved
to be fraudulent.

"We learn, on undoubted authority, that Captain
C. Fagan Sth Bengal Cavalry, and deputy pay-
master at Beams, some time since dismissed the
service, has been restored to the army 'by a uuani•
mous decision of the Court of Directors, acquiesced in
by the Board of Control, and heartily approved of
by Lord Dalhousie:
" We regret to notice the death of Mr. John lteddie,
the First Judge of the Calcutta Court of Small Causes,
which occurred at Calcutta on the 2Sth ult. He
sank under an attack of cholera—a disease which
has of late been very rare among Europeans there.
It was not known who would succeed Mr. lteddie
on the Bench of the Small Cause Court : for the pre-
sent Sir Laurence Peel, the Chief Justice, has under-
taken to occupy his scat two days in the week.
" A severe storm visited the coast of Scinde on the
21st and 22d ult., one of the severest felt in that quarter
for many years past, and it is feared that the steamer
S u rat, belongin g to t he Bombay Steam N av igat ion Com-
pany has foundered in it. The lion. Company's steamer
Ajduha has been despatched in quest of this vessel, in
the hope that she may have only been disabled.
The camp of the Governor-General left ltoorkee
on the morning of the 23th ult. His lordship,
after having inspected the works at that place,
visited the college and model-room, proceeded
up the canal, accompanied by Colonel Cautley, and
joined his camp at lialiadoorabad late in the fore-
neon of the 26th. On the 27th the camp moved to
Hurdwar, where no halt was made, but at Bogporo
instead there was to be a halt of two days. Sir John
Grey, Commander-in-Chief of Bombay, returned to
the presidency on the: 10th instant. Sir Erskine
Perry has left Bombay on a visit to the celebrated
ruins of flecjapore. 'lite Calcutta commercial report
is still unfavourable as to both produce and import
markets. Exchange continues quotations
touching on 2s. 3d. for first-class credits. Freights
have undergone no improvement, and there is no im-
mediate likelihood of their doing so.'
JNo China letters or papers have as yet been re-
ceived.]

THE. MONEY MARKET.—Money continues plentiful for
the season of the yen, and rates of interest lower than is
usual at this period but government and other *trinities
arc all very dull, and sales are not easily eff, dell, although
the high rates of exchange on Calcutta have caused govern-
ment paper to be wed as a remittance instead of bills. The
current quotations are

lurnars : Corrou PIECE Goons. —Since our last report
there has been little anxiety to purchase shown on the part
of dealers, while on the other hand, since the late arrivals,
importers have continued to show an anxiety to realise,
which has served to keep the prices low and unremune-
rative.

GREY SIIIIITINGS.--40 in. up to fit reed have slightly
declined in value; no change hu taken place in that of GO
reed or upward. Fur in. but a limited inquiry has
existed. No chnige in its value has taken place.
GREY MADAPOLLAV4.—The complete inundation of the
market hue caused a further decline in value of about 1
anna per piece, and great difficulty is found in selling even
at the very low price to which the goods have fallen ; we
believe the price has reached a lower point than has ever
been known before.

Gary J ACON ET LS very dull, and has further receded in
price 1 anna per piece on all descriptions except flue. The
extreme dulness which is felt in this, as well as in Made-
Ipollams, is partly occasioned by tho absence of demand in
the Marwar countries, where these goods are both very
largely consumed.
GREY LONOCLO7II isahnost unnoticed ; very dull of sale ;
prices have declined 2 annas per piece.
Gan- T Ctirit.—Up to 61b. there has been no demand,
and no change in value. Descriptions of 61b. and upwards
are in good demand, and prices have advanced 1 anna per
piece.
ORE- Dosmarics.—Of late the inquiry has not been so
good as previously, excepting on goods of 40 in. of heavy
and coarse make, which continuo to be irquired after.

CALCUTTA, 1)1:... 6.
The Bombay express, with London date's up to 233 b
October, anis ...I on the 3,1 inst., and the steamer with the
bulk of the mail on the afternoon of the 6th, noifinniug
previous ads ices that the unea.y feeling caused by the ap-
prehension that the heavy loss", sustained elan non
colonial products might lead to commtreiul embarr.ssm.uy
was gradually subsiding, while the deliveries or all artistes
entering into the consumption ul the masses, and the uses
of manufacturing industry continued favourably pro-
gressing. As these satisfactory indications had not how-
ever, exercised any favourable influence on the value ni
colonial products, which by large and free soles, had bon
pt in their previous state of depression, our '-sport ne.r-
ket must be expected to continue in that sad coalition ..f
*patty and stagnation in which it has remained silitc
p.aturu of the last mail, and although the r.pression
this quarter has been rather aggravated since the receipt
of the home news, we cannot report any further general
decline in the prices of leading staples, moderate stab. fur.
nishing ground to holders to give support to tie i• preview
requirement., at which the meet offers freely.
Our import trade has, as yet, shown no sign "Inatome,.

The suspension of payments by one of the largest native
dealers in this important staple gave a check to the business
in cotton twist, and although the party referred to has sines
arranged his affairs by compromise, the market leas not yet
recovered from the shock it had es-crivcd. Ceelout,l yarns
are dull. Metals remain without improvement.

I DI 0 o.—No disposition has been evinced since our last tO
proceed upon hu,iness in this dye, nod beyond a few trifling
Bazaar lots of native manufacture on the terms noticed in
our last report we here not heard of a single tran,iction.
It is stated that an offer of ;Co.'s Rs. 1:12-8 for about 70
chests E. E. 1). Coolbarcalt,which brought last season 11,175,
has been refused, and that similar approaches for SUM: other
small parcels have met n like fate, ytt all this does not
seem to us a fair indication of the tendency of the market,
which we expect now soon to see opened by public said.
The new goods have siaco been arriving freely, and
there arc at present nearly 1,000 chests in Cal-
cutta. Succeeding invoices have, in the generality
of cases, confirmed tho advises of the indigo weighing
