TURKEY.

By advices of tha 13th ult., from Constantinople,
we learn that the English screw•steamer Arabia ran
aground in the roadstead of Smyrna, but had been
towed off by the Turkish frigate Feizi,l3arri. . A
new committee of Ulemahs had been formed to
examine into the dispute about the Holy Sepulchre.
The Greek clergy found their claims on a grant made
them by the Caliph Omar. The French adduce
subsEquent treaties of 1740. The Hungarian rene-
gadEs have received permission to leave Turkey.
They will go to Alexandrette, and thence, on board,
an English vessel, to America.

REPORTS ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS,
FRoal TUE 17TH NCV. TO THE 2D DEC. INCLUSIVE.
THE MONEY MARKET.
Although money cannot be said to be in any great
demand, Government and other securities still show a
downward tendency, chitily, we imagine, in consequence
of the unsettled state of matters in the Bazaar, where
considerable apprehension and distrust prevail regard-
ing the Msrwarrie Shroffi.
There is little to be said on the general state of the
market during the last fortnight. Large arrivals of
critton piece goods and yarn have taken place. The
sales, we are happy to say, have been correspondingly
large, prices haviug on the whole been tolerably well
supported. Money is gradually coming into more de-
mand.

Istrowra.
Cotton Piece Goods—Our market continued firm unt,
the arrival of fresh supplies, when holders again showed
a considerable anxiety to sell, so that the improvement
anticipated has not been realised; we are, however,
glad to observe that prices have not fallen, the demand
has been csood, and dealers have readily come forward
to meet thep holders.

has been limited.

which are quoted at slightly lower rates.
