THE BOMBAY MAIL.

By the arrival of the above mail we have ad-
vice. from Bombay to July 23, and from Calcutta
to July 15.
In Bombay the favourable reaction which set in
after the Ist of July in financial matters, and
which was partly the result of a general feeling
that the settlement of time-bargains should make
things take a turn for the better, and partly of the
unexpected news of a rise in the price of cotton at
home, has been checked by the large sales by auc-
tion of forfeited shares, and by the break down of
the Indo-European Telegraph at the moment when
it appeared by advices to the 30th June that cotton
bad again begun to decline in value. Bombay has,
therefore, bad a relapse into be. former state of
blank dulness and despondency ' • and, while the
prospects of cotton remain uncertain, the circum-
stances of Bombay are not it is thought likely to im-
prove. Indeed the Gazette says tbat a fall of 2d. per
pound at Liverpool would cause many fresh
failures in Bombay, and would indefinitely delay the
much desired restoration of public confidence.
"There is a strong belief, however, even amoag sober
men of business (it adds), that cotton, if it does not
further advance in price, will at least be steadily
maintained at the rates recently current ; and in
any arsethe shippers of cotton, during the five ,
months of the year from February to June it
elusive, will have large profits to recover from
England.' There is still, on the other hand,
heavy amount of re-drafts to be paid by Bombay oe
account of losses on the shipments made towards
the close of last year ; and this drain on our re-
sources will not be clamed for another month
to come. But the export of bullion from Europe
to Bombay has already recommenced ; and the
steady prosperity of our trade seems to be well I
assured. Much, however, in this respect depends I
on the conduct of the mercantile community of
Bombay. It is obvious that the reckless specula-
tive excitement of 1863-64, and the subsequent
collapse, must have seriously injured the credit of
Bombay ; and the reputation we have lost will
be recovered until people at home are con-
vinced that the speculative spirit in this city has
been effectually subdued, and that each new sign of
returning fortune will not encourage us to make a
wild rally in pursuit of the will-ce-th•-wisps which
have already lured Bombay into the pitfalls of insol-
vency. Unhappily, the experience of the past fort-
night has shown us that the spirit of speculation has
not been dead, but sleeping, and that it is ready
and eager, on the first opportunity, to become as
active and vigorous as it was in former days."
With reference to the break down of the Indo-
European telegraph, we learn that the submarine
portion failed between Guadur and Mussundum
on July sth, and the fault ITU repaired on the 19th,
on which day it bad been fixed that aeteamer should
sail for Mussunducu with the messages for Europe
which had accumulated during the fortnight. In
regard to the Indian Telegraph Department, the
Supreme Government have dispensed with the ser-
vices of the late Director-General, Colonel Douglas.
