The Express.
London, England, 1849-10-27 00:00:00

CALCUTTA MARKETS.

The Bombay express, with London dates to the 24th of
July, arrived on the Ist inst. Affairs is continental Europe were in
a less excited state, and tli calm:lel markets at home were in general
steady, although the holders of a few articles premed upon the market
had to nib nit to a trifling conceseion in prix.
In our produce market 73 chests of indigo have changed hands at
previous market value. The recounts from the indigo districts have
improved, many concerns are working out a larger out-turn than was
anticipated, and the probable crop is now unmated at about
115,000 emends. The prospect of the planters in the upper pro-
einem. at one time very gloomy, hare lately brightened up eon-
eiderably. The demand for sugar has continued active end ex-
tensive, with full previous value fur the better qualities of white, and
a concession of 2 abnaa to 3 annaa per mound in lower sorts. The In.
quiry for saltpetre has been weedy, though not extensive ; the sum-
der 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 roach wanted, but other sorts remain flat
and neglected. Since the snivel et the mail a large demand has
sprung up for (kasha of ordinary and good descriptions, fur which
prices ranging between 96 and 116 per coin* have been given. Lac
dye is fire, bat in little inquiry, and shell Ise is almost totally neg.
Iteted. The inquiry for Jute to active, and the new crop has begun to
upper in the maket. I:ice has continued under neglect. The stocks
of safflower are nearly exhausted.
Oar import market kais experienced a good demand for nearly all
descriptions of the more mend Manchester cloths. Grey ehirtings
have sold freely. The fine qualities of white skirtings and jaconets
have been in good request. Prints and coloured goods generally have
done well. The lighter etcreriptions et Glasgow &brio, beking scarce,
realise blitber price., but ordinary sorts continue negeeteol. Mute

chest', pitman 1648-49, Cawnpore, 105.0 ditto, which rates are ex-
treme count mation of previous market value. The weather we have
had here during the past eight days, which sums to have prevailed,
at all events, in the nearer indigo districts, can be but considered as
moat unusually favourable to the growth and ripening of the yet
outstanding cultivation, and a satisfactory speedy progress of mane-
factoring, width continues to develop • continued improved yield of
produce in quantity and quality. Under those circumstances,
and the absence of pie rent indications that any rise of the rivers need
be apprehended, the prospects of :he majority of planters have bright-
ened, and estimates are increased to near 115,000 tnaands. These
anticipations are based upon an interrupted continuance of the same
beneficial weather which has lately prevailed, but since manufactur-
Mg has thus early prairies:eel to an unusual extent, any change of the
farmer rant reasonably be expected to exercise any my material
influence on the presumed total out-turn.

join the Admiral at the Pireus. His fleet will then
consist of the Howe (120), Caledonia (120), Queen
(116), Prince Regent (92), Bellerophon (84), Power-

in the world, and more than equal, iu weight of metal,

and Rosemead, steam-sloops. These will be increased
by the Thetis (36), now here taking in provisions and
stores, to complete the fleet to four months. She will
sail to-morrow for Athens. The French mail steamer,
from Marseilles to Malta, rid Italy, due on the 15th,
has not yet made her appearance, and fears are enter-
tained for her safety. The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Hindostan came in
early this morning from Alexandria, with 60
passengers. Her male were delivered at 8.30 a.m.,
and the overland mail closed at 9 a.m., rather slarp
work for those who had enclosures to read, comment,
and add to. The reason of her being so late was
the detention of the China maiL The arrival of the
Constantinople mail to-morrow morning is looked
