~'llr ,rtletitta Chronicle pub'ishes a letter from
'Nil' "'les, the writer of which states that tons
tins
°f ammunition have arrived there both

from England and Bombay, and have been shipped
off as fast as possible per river steamers to Moolt tn,
yet there is no abateminit. He stites that trcaßnre,
too, is sent up in la n gaanti.ies ; everyth:ng
appears to be going upwards, and nothinl, coming
downwards. As to the ways and means of this
enterprise, the Calcutta Englishman says that,
government during the present week has taken
from the Bank of Bengal a loan of fifty lakhs of
rupees, at the rate of 4 per cent. It is understood
that this loan is only for three months, but of
course it will either be renewed or converted into
government paper at the expiration of the term. A
new loan at 5 per cent is confidently antigipated
by the native money dealers, and it is doubted
whether money will be rapidly obtained even at
that rate.

The most profound tranquility reigned through-
out India, and there is not so much as a border
foray or agrarian outrage to chronicle. The
Governor-general and Governor of Bombay were
at the seats of administration. Lord Harris
was expected at Sedasheghur on the 10th of
November.
