COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

BOMBAY, JI:Nt 10.
The English mail from London of the 11th ultimo reached
Bombay on the night of the sth inetant. The tightness in
our money market, reported by last mail, has increased
during the peat fortnight, and the banks have again rained
their rates of interest 1 per cent. all round; and se there is
at present a sort of panic in the bazaar, it is probable we may
have to record in our next a much worse state of matters
than now exist. Government 4 per lent. paper is ouzel..
able, and may be quoted nominally from 80 to 82, and Fives
99, and some of our local joint stock share. have given way
in proportion.
The import market during the coulee of the fortnight has
been dull, and the business transacted is very limited. There
has been very little or nothing doing in piece goods.
The inquiry fur yarns is languid. Both mule and water,
No. 30, are in fair request and sane.
In cotton wool there ie no change in the market worth
noticing, with the exception of an advance of a rupee or two
on the value of several aorta per candy. We quote Broach
and Surat at Its. 138.37, Dhollera, Its. 131-32 ; Mangarole.
Its. 120.121; Khandeieh, Rs. 118; and Sawginnod, Its. 140.
The rates of freights have slightly advanced, now ruling
at 21. Cie. to 21. 10s. for Liverpool and London.
Exchange bite ruled at 2s. 2d. to 2s. 20. for first-class
paper, and 2e. 2td. to 2s. 214. for local drawn bills, and at
the time we write there is a slight upward tendency. On
Calcutta sight is 991; China 80 dayi eight, 221.

Our produce market here Ins experienced 'no ineterial
'Lennon since our Lot. The desire for operation continues,
but Liminess has been on the most limited scale known for
some time past, owing, as formerly represented, to the pau-
city of supplies and the extremely high prices.
In imports, the unsettled state of affairs in the upper pro-
vide. has In a great mesoure arrested business in our
market during the lad fortnight. There Las been little
doing, and transactions have been restricted to the supply
of this place and the neighbouring districts. Buyers Lave
been very cautions in their pur.hasee, and importers have
also evinced little disposition to sell, preferring rather to
wait tan the ermine( the disturbance eubeidc. . .

The money market continues in the same easy state as be-
fore. business in the bazaar is being done on easier terms,
the abundance of funds enabling capitalists le accede to lower
rates than those charged by the hanks.
Government eeturitiett have fallen during the week, the
alarming accounts from the upper province, having caused a
temporary panic in the bazaar. The current rates are—
Transfer Stock, 4 per cent., 11 to 12 per rent. died. nowt ,
Slaw Stock, 4 per cent, 16 to 16. M per rear. duct. mul. ;
Couipanv'e Stock, 4 per cent., 14 to 14.8 per cent. dioct.
natal.; Public Works Loan, 5 per cent., par to 0.2 per cent.

THE LATE CATASTROPHE ON THE
NORTH HINT RAILWAY.

CONCLUSION OF THE INCItiST.

After the examination of OM or two other mill:news the
Comner summed up, and the jury returned the following
verdict

We find John Griffiths, and Thomas Perry, the driver,
guilty of 11111wilaughter. The jury find that the distance-
signal at the Lewisham Station won not, and is not, so elf.--
tire as it should be, and that great negligence in manifested
from the fart that proper appliance. were not carried out by
the engineers ea ordered by the company; snit the jury ex-
press their regret that so muck time should have elapsed
before remising any assistance from the company at the
scene of the accident. The jury also express their opinion
thnt more efficient men should be placid to work the signals;
and they further condemn the open third-clam carriage., of
similar construction to those which were destroyed, aa not
affording sufficient protection to persona in the event of
oeei lent." . _ .

The inquiry wax then formally adjourned till Monday,
when the jury will meet and return the same verdict with
regard to the deaths of two or throe others their war-
rant only being heat in the mom of John Bellinger.
