THE CALCUTTA MAIL.

Calcutta papers of the 22nd ultimo, and Madras
journals of the Ist instant, have come to hand.

The following telegram had been forwarded by
Sir Lober Hamilton, the resident at Indore, to Lord
Elphinstone :—" Captain Gordon Cumming reports
that of the rebel force, four generals, one adjutant-
general, one commanding officer, one ressaldar,
with six hundred followers; have given themselves
up to the Rajah of Bikaneer." Whether this refers
(says the Madras Athenceum) to Tantia Topee's or
Feroze Shah's followers we are unable to say Of
the exact whereabouts of the former 'individual we
have no certain information, but from all that
can be gathered it would appear that he is in Sheka-
wutte, a state, or rather a collection of small states,
dependent upon Jeypore. To the north-west lies
Bikaneer, to the north-east Loharoo and Jhujjur,
and to the south lie Jeypore and Joudpore. Several
outlaw chiefs from Joudpore 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 Tantia is making for
the north, and Mr. Harvey, the commissioner of
Agra, is of opinion that there is nothing to preirent
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 Nawab of Furruckabad was to
commence on the 14th ult. The commissioners
appointed to try him are—Mr. Batten, judge of
Cawnpore ; Mr. Ross, judge of Futtyghur ; and
Mr. Wynward, judge of Shahjehanpore.
The chief point of interest in the Calcutta news
is the state of the money market. The Hurkaru
reports :
In the early part of last week, government paper was
sold at 16 per cent. discount, but sales have since been
effected at from 11 to 124 per cent. It is, however,
rumoured that the banks are not only declining to make
advances on government paper, but that they are, in some
instances calling upon parties to redeem the paper which
they hold. A. meeting of the Chamber of Commerce held
on Saturday last, was numerously attended, not only by mer-
chants, but by others interested in the question. A
letter to the financial secretary was adopted, in
which several suggestions are made as to the best
mode of raising money in India. At the same time the
meeting considered " that, so far as practicable, loans for
the service of India should be raised in England." A copy
of this letter will be sent by the present mail to the Secre-
tary of State for India. This meeting seems to have moved
the government seriously to consider the subject, as late
yesterday afternoon a Gazate Extraordinary was published,
notifying " for general information the financial measures
which have been resolved upon, in order to provide means
for carrying on the public service in the coming year
1859-60." After giving a detailed account of the loans of
the last few years, the Governor-General in Council
announces that five crores of rupees are required for the
coming year, and to raise this sum a loan at five and a-half
per cent interest is to be opened on the Ist of May
next. A new issue of Treasury bills will commence from
the same date, " bearing interest at the rate of 24 per
centum per diem." As Government assures the public that
" no further loan will be opened during the year"—pro-
vided the amount be raised—it may restore confidence, and
produce the required amount. The Governor-General,
however, does not feel very sanguine on this point, as he
hints that if the amount be not forthcoming, recourse will
be had to England ; and then, if instructions to that effect
be issued by the Home Government, another loan, carrying
a higher rate of interest, will be opened in India.
