THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MARCH 30, 1859.

INDIA,

THE CALCUTTA MAIL.
Calcutta papers of the 22nd ult., and Madras jour-
nals of the Ist inst., have come to hand.
The following telegram had been forwarded by
Sir Hobert Hamilton, the resident at Indore, to Lord
Elphinatooe :—" Captain Gordon Cumming reports
that of the rebel force, four generals, one adjutant-
general, one commanding officer, one renal-
dar, with six hundred followers, have given
themselves up to the Rajah of Bikaner." Whether
this refers (says the Madre,' Atherueum) to Tenth
Topee's or Feroze Shah's followers we are unable
to say. Of the exact whereabouts of the former indivi-
dual we have no certain information, bat from all that
can be gathered it would appear that he is in Sheka-
wuttee, a state or rather a collection of small states
dependant upon Jeypore. To the north-west lies
Bikoneer, to the north-east Loharoo and Jhujjur,
and to the eolith lie Jsypore and Joudpore. Several
outlaw chiefs from Jondpore have, it is said, joined
Tantia Topee, who, according to accounts dated the
Ist inst., was about seventy miles from Loharoo. It
would appear therefore that Untie is making for
the north, and Mr. Harvey, the commissioner of
Agra, is of opinion that there is nothing to prevent
him continuing to do so."
The military movements reported in the Calcutta
papers were made known to us by the last Bombay
advices.

The trial of the Newab of Farruckabad was to
commence on the 14th ult. The commissioners ap-
pointed to try him are—Mr. Batten, judge of Cawn-
pore ; Mr. Roes, judge of Futtyghur ; and Mr.
Wynward, judge of Shabjehanpore.
The chief point of interest in the Calcutta news
is the state of the money market. The Hurkaru
reports :
In the tarty put of last week, government parer was sold
at 16 par cent. discount, but sales have aineo been effected
at from 11 to 12i per cent. It 1,, however, rumosmi that
the banks am not only declinlag to maks adrenals on
primer paper, but that they are, in some instances call-
ing upon parties to redeem the mar which they hold. A
meeting of the Chamber of Commerei, held on Saturday
het, was narseroasly attested, not rely by neer-
chaste, but by others interested in the question.
A letter to the thircaial secretary was adopted,
in which several suggestions are made em to the
best mode of raising mosey in India. At the setae time the
meeting censidered "that, so far as practicable, loses for the
lervice of ladle should be raised in England." A copy of
this latter will be sent by the premed mall to the Secretary of
State for India. This meeting seems to have moved the go-
vernment seriously to considur the subject, se late yesterday
afternoon a Orrette Baraonlaeary was published, aotifying
"for general Information the financial measures which have
been resolved upon, in order to provide means for carrying
on the public 612,403 in the coming year 1669-60." After
giving, a detailed account of the loans of the last
few years, the Governor-General in Council an-
imam that five craves of repose are required for
t►e coming year, and to raise this sum a loan
at b per mt. iaterest is to be opened on the let of May
mt. Aam Woe of Treasury bills sal commence from
the seise Ms, " baring interest at the rate of 2i per
mhos per rem." As government assures the public that
" no tram km all be opened doting the year "—pro-
vided the meant be mimed—lt may restore ruandeses, and
produce the reqwlred amount. The Gormaor-General, how-
ever, does net very sanguine on this point, as he Mtn
that If the mist be not forthcoming, recourse will be bad
to Eaglasd; and then, if retractions to that AM be
issued by the home goverment, soother loan carrying a
higher rata of brewer will be opened la India.
In commercial affairs as regards exports, we bare to re-
port an Improvement in rase articles during the last seek.
Kew silk has been in better demand, and at an advanced
rice. There have bean large purchasers of crease ; and
sager has been rather heady dealt In for shipment to
Great Britian. Saltpetre end rios have produced
well mortared prior. Of imports we cannot speak
so favourably, dealers bang back. Male twist bee
gradually declined both in demand and price, and jecceste
bars also fallen,Swhilat white madapAlame are neglected.
Grey shirttngs of light makes only are gettable. Grey
casdapollams are in steady demand and price, bat grey

in limited request. The metal market has bra inactive, with
a slight fall in pries.

(THIS DAY.)

MONEY MARKET-THIS DAY

Two o'ol.ooa.
The funds to-day are dull, at a reduction of 1-16
to g per cent. compared with the closing quotations
of yesterday. In the other departmenM of the
Stock Exchange there is likewise an entire absence

of animation, the fortnightly settlement in shares
and foreign stocks forming almost the only °neaps-

tion of the members.

The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse We
not yet come to hand.
Consols are dull, at 951 for money, 95; to 1 fat
the 7th of April, and 96, " sellers," for the 6th of
May. The Indian Four per Cent. Debentures have
been dealt in at 98}; and Exchequer Bills, at 325.
to 354. prem.
•• • ' •

Apart from the settlement, very little busi-
ness has been done in the foreign stock market.
The new Turkish Loan, after being marked
79f, is now quoted 78f to 791. The
Six per Cents. of 1864 are steady, at 921; to 93f.
Russian Four.and-a-Half per Cents. are still offered,
in anticipation of the coming loan. Mexican Bonds
continue in demand. Salem are recorded as follows :
Dutch T wo-and-a-lialf per Cents., 65, 68* (exchange
129.); Mexican Three per Cents., 211; Russian
Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 991 ; Sardinian
Five per Cents., 82; Turkish Six per Cents., 1854,
921, 93/ ; ditto for account. 931; ditto Six per
Cents., 1868, 79k, 781, 791.
The rate of discount for choice bills is maintained
at the Bank minimnm,bnt the demand yesterday was
not by any means pressing. At the Bank only a
moderate amount of business was done. A large '
mass of bills will arrive at maturity next week.
Letters from St. Petersburg announce that the
price fixed by the Russian government for the new
Three per Cent. Loan of seventy-five millions of
roubles was 83 per cent. It is, therefore, possible
that there may bo some inaccuracy in the telegram
quoted a day or two ago, which stated 67 as the
price, although that telegram was dated a week later
than the letters now received. It appears, however,
to be certain that the arrangement has been de-
finitively concluded between the government and
Messrs. Thomson, Boner and Co., in combina-
tion with the house of Magnum, of Berlin,
and other capitalists. We believe we may state
that the arrangement has received the signature of
the Emperor. Mr. Charles Bell, of the firm of
Thomson, Bonar and Co., who has conducted the
negotiation at St. Petersburg, is understood to be
now on his way home. Further particulars are
awaited with much interest.
Considerable attention hu been excited by the
despatches addressed by Lord Stanley to the Go.
vernor.Oeneral of India, and published in the Ilx-
pross of Monday evening. About two-thirds of a
million of silver has already been sent out on govern-
ment account, and the remaining third, completing
one million, will go by the packet of the 4th prox.
It is now announced that a second million will be
transmitted forthwith, and a third million, " if indis-
pensable," and in the event of Lord Stanley's " not
meanwhile receiving more favourable accounts."
About 32,0001. in bar gold was yesterday with-

drawn from the Bank, for exportation to the Con-
tinent, in payment for silver.
The ensuing settlement in Consols is fixed for the
6th May ; and the last price for that period wee 98,
,buyers."
The half-yearly dividend, doe the 10th April, is
advertised on the Turkish Six per Cent Loan
of 1864.
The imports of silver from the Continent, to pro-
vide for the Eastern demand, continue on an extra-
ordinarily active scale. Since Saturday, upwards of
330,000/. worth is known to have reached the
Thames from Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Hamburg.
The market for bar silver here is fist, at Bs. 2jo. per
ounce standard, government having for the moment
suspended their operations.
The Europa, from New York, has brought
112,000/. in specie, of which a limited amount has
already been taken for the Continent. A portion of
the remittance by this vessel consists of Mexican
dollars. The 36,0001. by the Jura has been pur-
chased for transmission abroad, besides 7,0001, in
Russian gold coin.
The steamer Teviot is expected to reach South-
ampton about to-morrow, with 76,283/. in gold, and
the heavy portion of the Australian mail ex the
Oneida. A further sum of about 263,0001. in Aus-
tralian gold is now due, the Copenhagen having been
at sea 94 days, and the Water Nymph and Royal
Bride 86 days each.
Notwithstanding the large imports of silver the
Continental exchanges yesterday afternoon presented
in several instances a partial recovery from the late
fall. The principal. improvement was in bills on
Hamburg and Belgium. The Paris exchange re-
mains low, the quotation for short bills being 26.6 to
25.10. The rates are shown below :
Amsterdam, three months, 11.161 to 1; ditto short,
11.14 to 1; Rotterdam, dues moetNl/2_ 11.161 to f;
