has only been waiting for the production of the Bud-
get. kis natural that he should have wished, be-
fore leaving the seat of Government, to be in full
possession of all information directly bearing on the
state and condition of the country, on the relation
of its revenue to its expenditure, and on the amount
of its resources as compared with that revenue and
that 'expenditure. His Excellency now pro-
ceeds direct to Delhi, where he is expected
to arrive on the 18th instant. There will be no
camp formed ; and after a brief stay at Delhi,
his Excellency will proceed direct to Simla. He
will shortly be joined there by the Commander-
in-Chief in India, who at latest dates was in
Cashmere, and who was expected to leave it for
Simla, via Lahore, about the same time that the
Viceroy would !cave Calcutta.
64 The subject of chief interest during the past
fortnight has been the Indian Budget, read by
Sir C. Treveiyan in tue L9gielative Council of the
Governor-General on the 7th inst. This exposition
of the financial state and prospects of the
country is on the whole favourable. The
actual revenue for the year 1863.64 was X 44,753,000.
The actual expenditure was £44,722,000. There
NI, as a deficit on the entire Budget estimate of revenue
in opium of £1,150,000. The deficit on entire
Budget estimate was £217,700, The
estimated
revenue for 1864-65 is £46,160,000. The estimated
expenditure is £45,340,000. The promised surplus
for 1864.65 is /823,000.
"The estimated cost of the Sittaca
expedition
and camp of exercise was /200,000. The duty on
tobacco is reduced from 20 per cent. to
10 per cent.
The import duty on cotton piece goods is raised
from 5 per cent. to 71 per cent., with adjustment of
value to market rate of to-day, These aro the prin-
cipal features of the Budget that have reached us.
Economy 13 recommended in view of the Income-tax
expiring in Ju1y,1865. Theadvancement of the tariff
valuations on piece goods and
yarns will certainly
not commend itself to the approbation of commercial
men.

" The Financial Commissioners sent oat from
England to advise the azcounts of the Public Works
Department have submitted their report. The
Government of India has approved in general of the
reforms recommended. Colonel Chesney stands
appointed as Accountant-General, and Mr Kellner
as Deputy."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE BOMBAY MARKETS.
(From the Timm of India of 14th April.)
Money—The demand for money is decidedly increasing,
and should accounts from England for cotton continuo fa-
vourable, we shall undoubtedly see largo remittances going
up country.

RUSSIA.

Official returns published at St. Petersburg state
that at the end of 1863 there were in the six Uni-
versities of Russia 4,901 students, without reckon-
ing the free auditors. The students were thus
divided-672 at :St. P:,tersbilifg, 1,802 at Misenw,
647 at K'eff, 419 at Kasen, 703 at Charkoff, and
668 at Derpat. In dividing the butiget of each uni-
versity by the number of students frequenting it we
find each pupil costs the State annually 208 roubles
at St. Petersburg, 133 r. at Moscow, 211 r. at Kieff,
261 r. at Kasen, 2075. at Charkoff, and 231 r. at
Derpat—(the rouble is 3fr. 75c.) These figures have
much augmented of late, and since the reorganisa-
tion of the universities the expenses have nearly
doubled. If we consider the number of inhabitants
of each circumscription, we find that the University
of Derpat is the most peopled. The students aro
divided as follows among the different faculties :-
