MARKET REPORT

and the surrounding stations, and one or two or
more officers have fallen victims to the scourge.
Among these we note the name of Lieut. and Ad-
jutant Anderton of the 74th Bengal N. I. On'the
river Jum.na near the station of Agra, a gentlemen
is now engaged in opening coal-mines for the
supply of steamers working upon the river Ganges.
Coal steamers are also said to exist at Callinger
and at Ajeeghur ; and the latter place is situated a
few miles to the East of the river Caur, which joins
the Jumna about 100 miles above Allahabad. The
Caur is said to be perfectly practicable for boats all
the way from its mouth to the neighbourhood of
the coal mines. The practicability of supplying
our steamers working upon the Ganges and other
Indian rivers, with coal indigenous to the soil,
instead of that. brought out from England, has
often been talked of, 134 is only now likelY to be
'put in practice for the first time. And this prac-
ticability could hardly. have come at a more favor-
able season, for the price of English coal is at pre-
sent extremely high even at the Presidency, and
sea-port, towns of India.

The Nizam's dominions are perfectly quiet, as is
also the territories not long ago given up to our
Government, in virtue of the late treaty. The
Brigade which was out in '.the vally of Berar
has been withdrawn. All the Zemindars, or large
landholders, who were inclined to be refractory in
those districts, towards the new order of things,
have given in, and the whole of the districts are
as quiet as any province of British India.
• From neither' Calcutta. nor Madras have we
any thing new to commnnicate. The Governor
General is still at the former place, and rumour
has it that His Lordship is likely to remain some
eighteen months longer in India.

In Bombay the great event of the past ten days,
has been a public Meeting, which has been con-
vened at the Town Hall, for the purpose of taking
into consideration the defective mail arrangements,
and to take such measures as may „lead to an im-
proVement in the same. A practical speech was
made by Mr. John Smith, of the well-known firm
of Messrs. William Nicol Co.
