c have little new to report regarding the rebel-
lion, and it is difficult to gain correct intelligence.
Our dates from Shanghai are to the 18th ultimo.

The movement of the insurgents into the Kianabsi
province seems beyond a doubt, and they had taken
possession of the principal city, •causing alarm in
Moning and the Moytme neighbourhood, the seat of
the tea districts.
From Foochow our dates extend to the 10th of
July. The rebels had met with reverses and been
driven back, and disturbances in the Shang-foo dis-
trict, are quieted for the present. A parcel of black
tea had come down, and more was expected. The
American Consul seemed determined to work a
trade there, having native agents in the interior.
Our advices from Amoy are to the 18th ultimo.
The Imperialists did not succeed in retaking the
place, but retreated in good order.

Trade was at a complete standstill, and likely to
be so for months to come.

Canton keeps quiet, but in the interior there is
evidently great disorder, and the difficulty of transit is
greater, which has a serious eftect on trade. The
market for imports has continued excessively dull,
and the small business done has been chiefly on
speculation. Prices of 'most articles are again lower.
Turkey opium, 330 dollars. Exchange on England
for 6 month's bills 4s. 71-d. to 4s. 7ds. per dollar ;
on India, RS. 265 to R 62 per 100 dollars. Freights
£3 10s. to £3. The steamer Ganges, on the 4th inst.
brought from the London and intermediate places
about 4 lacs of dollars in bar silver and dollars.
Sycee silver is quoted 5 per cent. premium. A
considerable business has been done in tea, and
prices are firmly supported ; lately musters have
come down slowly, which induces the teamen to be
firm.

At Shanghai markets remained in the same un-
satisfactory state. No inquiry for imports. Few
teas had arrived, and scarcely any settlements had
been made. Silk was held for an advance. Ex-
change on England, almost nominal, quoted Os, 6d.
to 6s. Bd. per dollar ; on India 300 r. per 100 dol-
lars: Freights to England.X3 to £4.
The export of tea from China shows an increase of
about 4,000,0001 b. on that of last year to the same
time, brit it is expected to fall off, as supplies are
slowly coming forward, from interruption in the
interior.-

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BOMBAY MARKET.
PROM THE 29TH JULY TO THE 29TH AUGUST

The easy state of the money market for some time past
still continues. The Bank of Bombay have reduced their
rate of discount 1 per cent.
Silver Bullion has been in request for the China market.
Favourable reports still continue to be received of the
crops up country. A good fall of rain is, however, now much
desired. Prices generally have risen, but the price of piece
goods and yarns is scarcely remunerative, and that of metals
is still under the cost for which they can be landed there.
Little has been done in Cotton lately.

We now quote for Broach and Siirat 106 r. ; Dhollera,
101 r. to 103 r. ; Oomrawutte, 94r. to 96r. • and Compta,
93r. to 95r. We are small in stock, but fresh supplies may
be expected immediately.
Freights during the month have considerably fluctuated,
.We now quote £3 to London, and £3 2s. 6d. to £3 ss. to
Liverpool; to China the nominal rate is 16r. to 17r. per
candy. There are now three vessels on the berth for Aus-
tralia, the average freight being from £5 to £7 per ton.
Exchange.—The rates we quote are 2s. 15-16 d. for first-
class credits, and 2s. 18d for document bills at six months'
eight. China bills, at 60 days' sight, have risen to 247 r.
to 250 r. per 100 dollars, and even at that arc not easily
had. Calcutta bills at 60 days' sight are quoted at 99r.
to 991 r.
Freights.—To London, 3/. 2s. 6d. per ton; to Liverpool,
3/. 2s. 6d. per ton; to Calcutta, nominal, per rass ; to China,
164rr. per candy.

THE CALCUTTA MARKET,

FRIDAY, AUG. 19

The steamer Bombay was announced on the 11th instant,
and came up on the 12th, bringing London dates to the Bth
of July.

The reports from the indigo districts are still unsatisfac-
tory. Shel lac and lac dye remain unchanged. An average
business has been done in hides. The business done m
sugar for shipment to Great Britain has been very limited
during the last fortnight, not exceeding 600 tons; prices,
however, are firm, and about 2s. to 3s. per cwt, above home
quotations.

The business done in cotton piece goods •has been compa-
ratively limited. Holders of cotton goods arc very firm, and
they are encouraged to continue so by the perceptible and
wholesome falling off in the sendings from home, particularly
as respects twist and unbleacheefabrics. 1,650 mds. pig
lead are reported sold at 7-4 per md. Stilt is iu good de-
mand at full pricer, fine Liverpool is quoted .at 95 to 100,
and butter at 94 to 95 per 100 mds.
The money-market is kept well supplied, and accommo-
dation can be obtained on comparatively moderate terms.
The share market is firm, with an upwards tendency.

Exchange has not undergone any material alteration.
First-class credit have been ruling 2s. 2id. to 2s. id., and
documents at id. to id. cheaper. Bank of England post
bills- 2s. Old. Australian Bank bills at 30 days' sight at
2s. Oid. 13ills on China, with opium documents, 235 r. per
$lOO.

Tonnage is very scarce. Freights have not, however, much
altered owing to the small business doing in exports for
Great Britain. The quotations to London are 3/. 15s. salt-
petre;. 3/. 15s. sugar; 4/. rice; 4/. ss. to 4/. lOs oil seeds.
Rice to the Mauritius 2r. 4a. to 2r. 6a. per bag. The adver-
tisements show only two ships on the berth for London, four
for Liverpool, one New York, three Australia, two France,
four Mamitius, three China, two Straits, and three Rangoon
and Maulmain.

FRANCE.

(FRO3I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
. . .
PARIS, TUESDAY.
. . . .. . .
The French journals of this morning regard the
passage of the Dardanelles with much equanimity,
and 'are very sparing of their comments The
government organs anticipate only favourable re-
sults.

Silence being no longer possible, the Moniteur
breaks it, by giving to the world the intelligence,
which it probably received last Friday ; but an-
nounces, that only two vessels of each squadron
had the passed the Straits.
The following is from the Siiele :--`, It is to be
regretted that diplomacy has thought it necessary
to' find a pretext for an act in every way worthy
of praise. We are told that the ships have been
sent for to protect the Christian residents at Con-
stantinople,

The English and French residents inhabit the
fanxbOurgs of Galata and Pera, wherein there
is only an imperceptible minority of Mussulmans.
The mob of Constantinople would not attack them,
if so disposed, by traversing the two. bridges of
boats, which could be easily intercepted, but by
taking a circuitous route behind • the arsenal.
There are two Christian qnarters in Constantino-
ple itself, one Armen'an, the other Greek, and the
quarter of the Fanal is exclusively Gyeek. As yet,
there has been no hostile demonstrations whatever
in any quarter. We may add to this that the fes-
tival of the (Bariam, lasting four days, when every
Mussulman kills a sheep, and forsakes business
for pleasure,) has passed off without disturbance.
During this fête, the Sultan goes in solemn pro-
cession to the great mosque, attended by his officers,
who scatter money among the people. Ins appear-
ance was hailed with great cordiality.
The Sultan does not live in the old' Seraglio, but
in a lofty palace on the Bosphorus, about 3A- miles
from Constantinople, and the surrounding edifices
are inhabited only by the wealthier and better
affected classes,

A telegraphic dispatch of the 15th announces
that the Ulemas had made the " antende honor-
able." The Debats gives some interesting parti-
culars about this class :—" Mahomet instituted no
priesthood—but the Koran being hi Arabic, and
not to be translated without profanationrthere was
formed a body of literati, acquainted with Arabic,
and reciting aloud the prayers in the mosques, to
serve. as. a guide to the faithful, who pray in a
language of which they understand little or
nothing—these are the Ulemas, which means,
literati, or doctors. They also interpret the Ko-
ran, and, as with the Mahometans, the religious
and civil law are confounded, they call themselves
also interpreters of the law. The grand • Musphti
is chief of the law • but the active, real chief of the
Memos, having the title Scheik-ul-Islam, is by
right Minister of Justice. On all solemn occasions
the Sultan refers any great measure that may be
in contemplation to a council of Ulemas, who have
to decide whether it be or be not in opposition to
the Koran. Throughout the whole Empire they
number about 30,000, and a laborious course of reli-
gious and legal study is required of the aspirants
to the hierarchy. It is only at the age of 30 years,
and after long privations, that the young Softa
cm expect the grade of muderi, or professor, which
may lead him to still higher dignities."

The Emperor and Empress arrived at St. Omer
on Sunday, and were present in the evening at a
splendid ball given by the municipality. They left
yesterday morning for Dunkirk, and reached Calais
at half-past five,
