The conduct of the Milted States' Consul, Keenan, at
this port has given rise to a somewhat important
gnestion, viz., the right of Great Britain to take cogni-
zance of crimes and misdemeanors committed on board
American ships in British possessions. The consul, sup'
ported by the United States naval authorities, denies
British jurisdiction, and in defiance has committed an
offence, for which he has been tried in cur police court►

found guilty, and remitted to the criminal sessions.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
- CALCUTTA MARKET, Nov. 22nd.
Notwithstanding the occurrence of holydays transactions in
imports have been on a fair scale, dealers displaying 'mot°
confidence than was experienced for some time past. ThO
accounts from the up-country markets continue favourable,
and but for the tightness of our Money Market, wo might
have been able to report a more favourable state of
affairs. The downward tendency of the exchange on.
Europe will most likely render importers more firm, and caw°

scarcity of money, and we hear in some cases
parties have been constrained ;to submit to most exorbitant
rates of interest and discount. It is reported that acceptances
have been cashed in the bazaar at over 2,5 per cent, per annutor
but we do not vouch for the correctness of the report.
EXCHANGE : In consequence of very few bills being Wool
on England, the rates have experienced a further decline, and
