these disturbances Ave been deserted, the insur-
gents having treated the ryots who fell into their
hands with extreme barbarity. The 9th Regiment
and the 2nd Cavalry stand fast at Jaulnah, by Sir
Patrick Grant's order, it is 'said. A siege train
from Ahmednuggur is now on its way to join Sir
Hugh Rose'rii force.
" The supreme government has intimated to Sir
John Lawrence that he cannot be relieved from
his duties in the Punjaub until the Ist of March,
when, it is stated, he will leave the upper provinces
for Calcutta, en route to England, to take his place
in the Indian council.

" The business in our import market during the
fortnight has been to a moderate extent ;" the
money market continues tight ; and the rates of
freights have improved slightly."
