THE BOMBAY MAIL.
The following telegram from Mr. Acting Consul
Green arrived at the Foreign OffiCe at 1 30 a.m.,:
Jan 16, dated Alexandria, Jan. 10 : - ;

ALEXANDRIA, Jan. 10

The steamer Benares arrived at Suez, from Bombay,
on the 6th inst. The dates are Bombay, Dec. 24 ; Aden,
Dec. 31. The subjugation of the disturbed districts is
rapidly progressing. The insurgents are dissolving before
the merciful conditions offered by the Queen's Procla-
mation, and the dismantling of forts and disarming of the
population are being carried on rigorously.
On the Ist of December, Brigadier 'lroup's column
met a large body of rebels at Biswa, in Oude, commanded
by ismael Khan. Our artillery and cavalry only were
engaged, but the enemy made very little stand, and
fled. The result of this affair was, that on the 4th,
Ismael Khan gave himself up, with a considerable number
of- adherents. Some others have since followed his
example.,
Tantia Topee is still at large. When last heard
of, he was supposed to be making for Oodeypore, in
Rajpootana.
On the sth of December a party of rebel fugitives
from the Fil Fitilb, at Biswa, eluding the vigilance of
the British troops, posted along the banks of the Ganges,
between Cawnpore and Kimong, crossed at once into
the Doab, with intention, it is conjectured, of joining
Tantia Topee in Central India. This party, under Feroze
Shah, mustered 900 horses, 300 foot, 1 small gun, and
some elephants. On the Bth they were encountered by
Mr. Hume, who was forced to retire upon llttroband-
pore, where he occupied a small fort.
On the'l2th the rebel party was at Tangeooa, moving
south, plundering and burning as they wont, and closely
pursued by General Napier.
The following telegram, dated Gwalior, 18th
December, from. Major Manakersen, gives the
latest- intelligence of them at Ranade ;
On the 17th December, Sir R. Napier's force beat anti

At the London Corn Market to-day, the supply
of Wheat front ESsex was small, from Kent fair,
and from distant countries the quantities offering
large. The condition was not generally good, and
sales could only be effected at a decline of Is. per
quarter on prices of this day week. Foreignp was
quite neglected. Grinding Barley 61. to ls.
dearer, as was also the ease-with Oats. There was
but little doing in Flour, at late rates.
In the Produce Markets a • fair business is being
transacted. Sugar and Coffee meet with a ready
sale, and the transactions in Tea are rather more
numerous on the basis of 111 d. to 11,1 d. per lb. for
ordinary Congou. _ _

The letters by the Asia state that the New
York Money Market was more active, and the
banks had increased their accomodation. Rates
were without cha ige. The business in .Cotton
had been confined almost exclusively to supply
the demands of domestic consumers. Prices for
Cotton on the spot were well maintained, but-for
Cotton on the wharf, and to arrive, prices were
somewhat easier. The sales of the week were
about 5,000 bales, the market closing firm for
middling uplands, at 12tc. for middling Orleans.
Cotton in transitu had been in better demand, the
sales being 2,500 bales on the basis of 111 c. per lb.
for middling Orleans, with Ad. freight. Stock,
35,000 bales. There was nothing whatever
doing in Breadstuffs for export, but with a good
home demand, and more speculative inquiry, the
Market was firm, with rather an upward tendency.
Provisions were quiet but steady. In freights we
notice engagements to Liverpool at 5d to 6d for
grain, is 9d flour, and heavy goods 15s to 25s
per ton.

The Paris Moniteur of Saturday, publishes the
official return of the taxes and indirect revenue of
France, for the year . 1858, with a comparison
between the receipts of that year and those of 1857.
The total amount in 1858 was 1,091,728,000 f.,
and in 1857, 1,052,713,000 f., being an increase of
39,015,000 f. in favour of the first named year ;
but if the second decime on the registration
dues, which was suppressed in 1858, were taken
into account, the real augmentation would be
56,287,000f.' The items wluch show an improve-
ment are the duty on manufacture of Beetroot
Sugar, 22,294,000 E ; import duty on French
Colonial Sugar, 15,028,000 f. ; duty On Potable
.Liquors, 12,933,000 f.; Tobacco Sales, 4,005,000 f.;
Registration Dues, 2,612,000 f. ; Customs' Export
Duties 1,994,000 f. ; sundry Customs' Duties,
1,071,000 f. ; postage, 1,032,000 f. ; ditto _on

transit .of foreign letters, 361,000 f. ; duty
on the consumption of salt beyond the bounds
of the Customs, 214,000 f. The decrease falls on
the following :—lmport duties .on sundry mer-
chandise, 8,104,000 f. ; ditto on foreign sugar,
6,939,000 f. ; sundry. receipts, 1,887,000 f. ; stamp
duty, 1,607,000 E.; duty on consumption of salt
within the bounds_ of _the Customs, 1,761,000 f. ;
sale of gunpowder, 1,241,000 f. ; import duty on
corn,, 383,000 f. ; navigation dues, 353,000 f. • post-
office orders, 39,000 f. ; mail posts, 15,000 f.. As
compared *ith 1850. the total receipts of 1858
show an increase of r',5,521,000f.

A modehate ilemanriis reiOrted in the Money
Market, chiPrdy on commercial account, and there
is an invizession that the improved tendency of
trade 'Hill, in the course of a few weeks, provide
evr.:n more employment for the available supplies of
capital. The terms of discciunt are still very mode-
rate, becaues the resources of the market are ex-
tensive, and an active competition exists among
the bankers and brokers for the bills brought for-
ward for negociation. The general appearance
of the market has been easier since the dividends
became payable, but the effect of that distribution
will soon be negatived if the wants of the mercan-
tile community should increase, especially as there
is a continuous absorption for loans and joint-stock
undertakings. _ _

The Bank of England have entered into an
agreement to supply the Metropolitan Board of
Works with a loan of £3,000,000 for drainage pur-
poses, which, it will be recollected, was authorised
last session. It is not expected that more than
£1,000,000 will be required annually. The interest,
which is to be 31 per cent., and the principal will
be chschargediay .a rate of 3d. in the pound, to be
levied for 40 years on the annual value of property
in the metropolis. The announcement has not
attracted much attention, and as the amount will
only be raised at intervals when required, its effect
upon the Money Market will be comparatively
unimportant,
The steamer Emeu, Captain Small, left Suez for
Australia, on the 28th December, with the London
mails of the 17th December, and passengers. The
Agamemnon, Captain. Hyne, from London, arrived
off the Sand Heads, December 9th. The next
mail from Anstralia will probably be conveyed to
Suez by the Colnmbian, and may be expected, there
on the g4th of this mont4,
