and company orderly books of all the European corps at
Meeitit. (Signed) W. IL MANSFIELD, Major-General,
Chief of the Staff."

"There seems to be but one opinion," says the Bombay
Times, " upon the order, which is regarded as judicious in
the extreme. It is known that at Gwalior, Berhampores
Allahabad, and Lahore, unmistakeable symptoms of
disaffection have appeared. Having lost their native army,
it seems that the East India Company's reputation is to
sustain its last blow by the mutiny of their European one.
The matter ought. never to have been allowed to reach its
present stage. The fact that it was thought wessary to
take a legal.opinion upon the validity of the transfer should
have been sufficient reason to have given way to the demand
of the men to be re-enlisted. Their pride was offended, at
the same time, that they were deprived of the new bounty to
which they believed themselves entitled ; and the wisdom of
risking a mutiny in the army, for the sake of five or
ten lakhs of rupees, may well be doubted. The last
news we have is to the effect that Colonel Johnson,
Assistant-Adjutant-General of Artillery, has been
sent down from Meerat to Calcutta, to consult with

the Governor-General to advise, as we trust, the concession
of the demand made by the men. A rumour prevails that
her Majesty's 75th Regiment, sympathising with the
grievance of the company's troops, intimated that they
would not act against them ; and if the rumour be well
founded, the government must submit, for it has no alterna-
tive. We should be sorry, indeed, to see a trigger pulled
in such a cause, and the wisest thing we can do is to offer a

free discharge to every man who chooses to claim it."

The Bombay Gazette says that insubordinate demonstra-
tions have been made at Allahabad, Berhampore, Lahore,
and G walior, the cavalry at the first-named station having
gone so far as to fire in the air in the presence of their
officers. Hitherto no violence has been attempted by, the
malcontents, nor has it become necessary to employ force
for their coercion, and from the example of Meerut and of
Lahore, where the failure of discipline was but momentary,
it was believed that these dissatisfied men would give way to
reason and return to their duty.

Of the Sepoy revolt the Gazette reports :

The insurgents on this side of India have not been heard
of lately, and they may be supposed to have withdrawn
themselves from the struggle. From the north and east we
have only a meagre allowance of the usual telegraphic
notices of parties of rebels having been fallen in with and
dispersed withslaughter. The Nana is still at large, and
believed to be somewhere on the borders of Oude and
Nepaul, together with the Begum of Oude. •
The littl rebellion of the Rana of Nuggur Parkur,- in the
east of Sind, the origin of which is still very obscure—one
report brings women into the case—has been suppressed
with little trouble. Strongly posted on the hills behind the
town, and in the town itself, the " Coolies " made a spirited
resistance for some time, till several of our men were
wounded—one of them mortally. They then broke and fled
into the adjacent ravines, which afford ready but only
temporary shelter. They were driven out of the hills by a
combined movement on the 4th instant, but the arrangement
for the capture of their chiefs failed through a misapprehen-
sion of orders. Their camp was found prepared for a
prolonged resistance ; and it is believed that the insurgent
Rana had objects in view beyond the redress of local or
individual grievances, though what they were even rumour
does not venture to say. According to the latest accounts,
telegraphed by Colonel, Evans, in command of the force, to
the 'l2th inst , the district was quite quiet, and the fugitive
population returning to their homes. The leaders had fled
without followers, and are said to have crossed the"Bunn of
Catch, and taken refuge in the Joudhpoor district of Nyur.
Colonel Evans was engaged in a strict inquiry into the
causes of the revolt.

H.M.'s 78th Highlanders has embarked for England.
The 61st Foot and the 14th Dre,goons—which is to have
a library from the European inhabitants of Bombay instead
of a dinner—go to Poona and Kirkee respectively. The
64th Foot have already proceeded to Kurrachee.

The Nawab of Furruckabad had been sentenced to be
hanged, but it came out on the 'trial that before his
surrender a letter had been written to him by Major Barrow,

Fhn rr„.;,,1 „,;44, 11;c Vynnllanny
the Commander-in-Chief, in which he was invited to sur-
render, and that in this letter he was told that pardon had
been extended to all who had not personally committed the
murder of British subjects, and that if he had not personally
committed the murder of British subjects, he might sur-
render without apprehension. On the receipt of this letter
he immediately surrendered. He now claims the fulfilment
of the promise of pardon, being found guilty, not' f having
personally committed the murder of English subjects, but
of having been an accessory before the fact. The Governor-
General in Council entirely condemns and disavows the act
of Major Barrow, in !flaking a promise contrary to the royal
proclamation, and contrary to the express order of. the
government, excepting the prisoner from all benefit of
pardon. "But," says an order in council,, •

" His Excellency in Council will not suffer it to be said
that the prisoner, having been induced to surrender on the
promise of a British officer in Major Barrow's position, has,
in consequence of that surrender been put to death for a
crime of less degree than that which was designated by the
officer as alone rendering 'him liable to punishment. The
Governor-General in Council has, therefore, resolved to
forbear. (from carrying out the sentence of, the court on
Tufnzzal trosein, on the condition that he shall immedi-
ately, quit the British territory for ever. If he accepts
this condition, he will be conveyed to the frontier as a
convict under a military guard, and there set at liberty.
If he refuse the condition, or if having accepted it, he shall
break it, or attempt to break it, now, or at any future time,
the capital sentence pronounced upon him will be carried
out,"

The Bombay Times reports of monetary affairs :
The panic in our money market has subsided a littlo, and
is perhaps tot likely to recur again in equal severity. The
fact that all classes have weathered it successfully, and that
'not a failure has been announced in the place, speaks
volumes for the character of our trade. '

ARRIVAL OF THE HUNGARIAN

The Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's Screw-steamer
Hungarian, arrived here this morning, having made the run
from Quebec in the short space of nine days eight hours
and twenty minutes, having left that port on Saturday the
11th of June.
The Hungarian brings 88 cabin passengers and 59
steerage, being 147 in all, but she brings no later news
from New York than that published by us yesterday.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
QUEBEC, June llth, 1859

White Pine is arriving earlier than usual, and as a great
deal of last year's stock is offered. for sale, rafts are very
unsaleable although several have changed hands at prices
varying from our lowest to our highest quotations.
Though the number of arrivals from sea is about equal
to last year up to this date the tonnage is less and 'of this
the weekly line of Ocean Steainers must be taken into account.
Red Pine was in some demand in the early part of last
month for small parcels in shipping order but is now as dull
as White. •
Oak is arriving in excess of last year, and owing to the
competition of the " Thornton Oak" from Virginia, which
is preferred for, Railway purposes in the Liverpool market,
is not enquired for here, and a large portion of last year's
stock is still on-sale
Elm is also accumulating without finding buyers, although
some lots of good size sell on arrival.
Staves have arrived unusually early, and are most
plentiful, with little inquiry for either standard or West

India.
Deals are the only saleable article in the market, though
we question if any large parcels could be placed readily, yet
owing to the scarcity of other freight the weekly sailing of
our steamers will, we think, enst.re a sale for them during
the whole season.
Freights share in general depression and are dull at 28s.
for Liverpool and 90s. for London. There is however a
better inquiry for the outports at corresponding rates.
FORSYTH, BELL & CO.

At Montreal, the weather has been very warm, and
showery, and the crops continue to look very well. Busi-
ness has been very dull last week in every department.
Ashes have been very dull since our last, owing to the
absence of orders, and consequently of competition.
Receipts, equal to about 200 barrels a-day, are making the
market droop. Pots are $6 20c to $6 25c ; pearls $6 45c to
$6 50c.
Flour is nominally at $6 50 to $7 for superfine, $7 25c for
fancy, and $5 60c to $8 for extra, but there are no sales in
quantity at these rates. Retail parcels for consumption
are selling at a shade over these quotations. The only
favourable turn in. our flour market is a demand which
has sprung up within these three days for the New
England States and Lake .Champlain. For months
past those regions have apparently been supplied
to better advantage from New York or from the
west, but at last dealers there begin to find it for their
interest to'buy in Montreal again. Owing to the absence
of this demand, which is for the finer qualities of
Flour, Extras have been slow of sale here. They may now
go better. The price of Flour is quoted considerably
higher in Toronto and Ogdensburgh than Montreal, and
fully as high in Chicago and Milwaukie. It is to be sup-
posed, therefore, that supplies must stop unless the price
falls in the interior, or rises here. The receipts in Chicago
are slightly increasing, but are only about a fifth of those
of last year. New heat has appeared in St. Louis and
other Southern markets, but it will probably be six or
eight weeks before any supplies from the South can practi-
cally affect the markets. It is, however, to-be remembered,
that vegetation is everywhere a fortnight farther advanced
than at the same time last year ; and if theharvest be, upon the
average, a fortnight earlier, a less stock of old will suffice
than under ordinary circumstances. The consumption of
the United. States and Canada for a fortnight would be a
very large quantity. The problem, whether there is enough
of wheat and flour on this continent to last till harvest, at
the ordinary rate of consumption, is being slowly worked
out. There have been forced sales of No. lat $6 50c to
$6 75c, and fancy at $6 75c to $6 95c. •
WHEAT: A cargo of Milwaukie Club sold at $1 35P, at
which more could be bought.
The Toronto market has been fluctuating. About ten
days ago the price of the best samples 3f white wheat was
lOs 6d, from which it fell to 8s 9d, but the latest advices
show a rally to 9s 6d.
Tbo ..o_,v ‘s or 41a,ir at New York, show a
falling off for the first five months of this year, or up to the
third week •in May, as compared with the same period of
last year, of equal to 160,000 barrels flour. The quantity
of Indian •corn is considerably greater this year than last.
Butter is quite unsaleable except by retail ; dealers being
unwilling to buy, in the expectation of a fall. It is im-
possible, therefore, to give any quotation except the retail
price on 'the market, which loa to is for both fresh and salt.
What parcels would bring if forced to sale is quite pro-
blematical, and country merchants would need in buying
to take probability of considerably lower prices into con-
sideration, especially as the grass is excellent this season,
and the quantity produced will doubtless be large.
STAVES.—There are about 150 Mille of Standard and
as many of West' India, in the market, but the price is
merely nominal, there being no transactions.
