BOMBAY, MARCH 15.
[PROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]
The present mail from India leaves Bombay two
days earlier than usual. It is taken on to Aden by
a small steamer belonging to a private company, the
Honourable Company having nearly all their steamers
engcged in connexion with the Burnish war. The
London mails of the 24th of January and 9th of Fe-
bruary arrived here on the 9th of March; the former
mail wa3 delayed a fortnight at Suez, in consequence
o: an accident to the Haddington near Suez, by which
her mainmast was broken.

A note from Calicut mentions the)
March, of Major W. W. Perrequ.

The 13urineie war bad not yet advanced beyond
the stage of preparation. The latest news received is
very unsatisfactory, but I caonot do hotter than give
you the Friend of India's summary of the most re-
cent intelligence :
"It was thought by some that the question of
peace or war was still dependent on the• receipt of
communications from • the Burmese authorities, and
that When they found we were so fully prepared for
war, they would be disposed humbly and submis-
sively to accept the terms we had offered: -All these
expectations, however, have now vanished. The im-
beaile King's * letter may have been of a pacific ten-
dency, but those who wield the power of the state,
and with whom alone we have practically to do, are
evidently bent on trying conclusions with us on the
field, and they have left us no alternative but to resort
to arms. Every preparation has been made by them
at all assailable points on the coast, to meet and to
repel our troops, and we are fairly embarked in a
second Burmese war, in spite of the most anxious
desire to maintain peace.
E. Tne preparations for war on- our part, since the
Governor-General's return, have been carried on with
a degree of vigour and dispatch never exceeded and
seldom equalled in India. At this Presidency the
37th N itive Infantry has been sent to guard Arra-
can, which will probably be • invaded as soon as
hostilities are officially declared. A portion
of the 18th Royal Irish has been sent to Moulmein,
which is now protected by a force little short of
2,500 men. Her Majesty's 80th Foot is coming
down from Dinapore by water with all speed; and
so likewise is the 40th Native Infantry ; they
may he expected to reach the Presidency by the
15J-1 or 20:h of the present month. One other
native corps will be needed, but it is not known
which will be selected. Tne arsenal resounds with
the din of preparation, and it has been deemed neces-
sary, as we -hear, to borrow some hours from the
Sunday for this work of necessity. The artillery
about to be dispatched will be of the most efficient
and formidable character,' and cannot fail to fill the
minds of the barbarians with overwhelming- astonish-
merle. The guns and the troops will embark in
steamers which are coming up to convey them. An
express has reached Madras, with instructions to hold
the following force in readiness for immediate ern-
harketiort-3 companies of European Artillery, H. M.
51st Regiment, and two regiments of native infantry.
For the conveyance of these troops a large squadron
of steamers was ordered by express to leave Bombay
without delay. Within three hours after these orders
reached that Presidency every arrangement was com-
plete. The next morning the ships were reported to
be in such a state of equipment that they were
in orders to start on the third day. Of these vessels,
two are of 500-horse power and 1,500 tons;
one of 300• horse power and 1,200 tons, all armed
With large swivel guns of 8-inch calibre, throwing
hollow shots, shells, or grapnel', to the distance
bf a couple of miles. Two of the other steamers
are about half the size of the others, but both in
e highly efficient state: Including the Hugh Lindsay,
seven steamers will be dispatched with troops from
Madras across the bay. The whole, when assembled
in Burmese waters, will form the largest, the most
efficient, and the most terrific fleet of steamers which
has ever been collected together in the east. It will
consist of the Feroz e the Moozuffer, the Sesostris,
the Zenobia,• the:Semiramis, the Medusa, the Hugh
Lindsay, the Tenasserim, the Fire Queen, the Enter-
prise, the Proserpine, and the Phlegethon, 12 steamers
belonging to the Honourable Company, and one, the
Hermes, of her Majesty's navy. The sudden assem-
blage of? so magnificent a fleet of steamers, fully
armed and equipped, will serve to prove the astonish-
ing increase of power which the Government of India
derives from steam navigation, and the complete com-
mand which it holds of the whole sea coast from Snez
to the Yellow Sea."
The squadron now consists of twelve steamers and
three sailing vessels. A letter, dated Rangoon 23d
February, says te---" About .a week ago a boat came
down from the Governor of Rangoon, on the plea of
asking the comniodore what flag he would hoist on
going up the river, that orders might be given to
the stockades not to fire into the frigate, if she
passed up with any pacific intentions ; but if they
had not a distinguishing -flag they would certainly
be fired at from the stockades. The Commodore's
answer has not transpired. It is supposed to be
the intention of Government to attack Rangoon; this,
I think, will be wrong. The' Burmese have made
every preparation there to receive us. We should go
up the Bassein river, where there is plenty of water
for the largest steamer up to Bassein ; we could then
cut off the communication betteeen the upper and
lower provinces, and settle ourselves at Prome, and
there dictate terms during the monsoon."
In my last I mentioned that the troops under Sir
Colin Campbell, in the-little war on our north-west
frontier, had returned to their quarters. Since then
I hear from Peshawar that the hill people,
taking ad-
vantage of the withdrawal of our troops, have re-
turned to the former scenes of their robbery and
rapine, and burned several unprotected villiages. No
troops will go out again before April, when it is said
to be the intention of the authorities to build a fort
in the opposite direction, at the mouth of the Kohat
Pass. A north-west summary of the events which
have transpired during the fortnight says :—" Our
letters from the neighbourhood of Dhera Ghazee Khan
mention this the border tribes have made a successful
capture of forty camels belonging to the Hon. Com-
pany. Brigadier Hodgson was at Asunee, inspecting
the posts." •
From Herat we learn that the Persians have eva-
cuated that nity, and' returned to Meshed, having
first concluded a txesity with the son of Yar Mo-
hammed. It is not easy to- account for this retro-
grade movement in the hour of victory, especially as
they were actively supported by the Alikzyes, and
might easily have obtained reinforcements of native
Persians. It has been surmised that our Ambassador
bad represented to the. Shah that the British Govern-
ment would never consent to his retaining possession
of Herat.
The whole of Ali Moorad's artillery has been
received and lodged in the arsenal of Bukknr. The
force at Roree had broken up. The Mooltan bri-
gade was hastening back with all speed to canton-
ments.
It is stated that a • fo-rmidable outbreak of the
Moplahs is expected to take place in Southern Mala-
bar very shortly. The authorities are taking measures
to apprehend their high priest, who was the prime
mover of the late. insurrection, and it appears that
4,000 of that exasperated class of people have resolved
to-protert* and defend -him. •
The intelligence from the Nizam's dominions is
contained in the subjoined extract of a letter :
" About two 'o'clock in the efternoon of the 26th
February, the Nizam took it into, his head to return
to the city, and directed his Prime Minister, Suraj
00l Moolk, to follow him immediately. A dungee, or
party of about 50 patins, was however waiting at the
killed
gate for arrears of pay, and as soon as the Minister's
palkee made its appearance, the patens fired into it,
and wounded Suraj in the face, the ball passing a
little below the cheek bone, and lodging near his ear.
A terrible struggle was the consequence. The
pA:itnhter's Arab soldiery immediately fired upon the
MeLean, the : the whole of them were either immediately
tracted the
ofthe or
tseverely wounded. Rumour reports that 31
and 21 Arabs are already dead. There

IMPORTS FROM EUROPE.
British Cotton Piece Goods—We are glad to have it
in cur power to report some little improvement in the
state of this market; this is, however principally mani-
fested in the increased demand which has lately sprung
up, and not so much in any advance in the scale of value.
Business has not been doing on such a large scale as
might be expected, but this is owing to the tuOavourable
stare of the Bazaar as regards credit, as also to the diffi-
culty of negotiating Hoondies in the Upper Pro-
vinces to meet purchasers here. Grey shirtings have
continued in demand, and business has been done
freely at former figures, confined chiefly to 40 inch
cloth, which have sold at from 3 to 5-7 each;
45 have been placed at 4-6 to 6.8, and a few pieces of
50 at 6 12 per piece. In white shirtings operations have
been confined to 36-inch cloth, which has sold to the
extent of about 18,000 pieces at 3-5 to 9.8 per piece.
White figured shirtings have been almost completely
neglicted. A few trifling sales have taken place at 7 to
7.8 per piece. In grey jacconets a fair average amount
of business has been done, cep about 40,000 pieces at

been so generally looked for, and about 14,000 pieces
have moved away at R 3. 1-12 to 5 9.6 per piece. Cam-
brics have been very moderately placed, at prices vary-
ing from Rs. 2to 2.6 per piece. In twills we have not
had much business, and prices may be quoted as at for-
um figures. White madapollama are without inquiry ;
and the business gone into in grey has been very mode-
rate, showing a small decline in value. They have been
placed at Rs. 1-4 to 2-3 per piece. Heavy supplies of
lappets have operated against any improvement in
value ; demand, too, has been very slack for them. In
mull mulls business does pretty fairly at prices fluctuat-
ing from 1-4 to 2-9 per piece. Book muslins have been
placed to extent of about 5,000 pieces at 5-4 the highest.
Printed and Coloured Goods—Business has not been
on anything more than a very limited scale, and prices
have range from 3.4 to 5.4 per piece. Turkey red
goods have also been in limited inquiry, and value

COMMERCIAL li,TTELLIGENCE.
CALCU TTA, MARCEL 6.
In resuming our usual weekly commercial report, in-
terrupted for a short period by causes which it is not
necessary to explain, we are happy jo: being able to re-
port a decided improvement in the petition and prospects
of mercantile matters. There had been
amendment for some little time pas,'- and, as compared
with the same period of last mn , things are con-
siderably improved, and'appearanc ivo promise of still
farther improvement. As regards!, e position of the
export department of our business,/ erations have re-
ceived a stimulus from the relaxin

matters, and the reduced rates of exchange on England.
Both these circumstances have tended in a great mea-
sure to stimulate demand for produce, and to bring
speculators into the market who had hitherto refrained
from operations. Thaler the inflirence of the above
causes, there is little doubt but that business would have
been conducted on a still -morelit/oral and extended
scale, but for the counteracting effects of reduced stocks
of produce, scanty arrivals, and enhanced demands of
holders. Latterly, too, a slight advance in the rates of
homeward freightage has lent its aid to repress the
scale of business. Upon the whole, the position of
the market for produce may be pronounced as satisfac-
torydegree of vigour and

inactivity which has Indigo has latterly
improved in demand, and is at present in pretty active
request, while prices have ruled rather more favourably
for sellers. Business has been doing both by private
and public sales. Demand has been more general for all
sorts of sugar, in consequence of which value has ad-
vanced a shade. The market appears to be firm.

In aund. For the
home market business ha; been conducted on a restricted
scale. Table rice has fallen into neglect, in consequence
of the advance of freights; very little business has been
doing, although we are unable to report any decided
decline in value. Bedlam and Moonghy kinds have re-
mained in goecf, and active requisition, and prices have
evinced no alteration, but are maintained steadily. Ship-
ments to Mauritius are on a heavy scale. Although
demand rewaius brisk for raw silk, the reduced state
of supplies has tended to check operations; prices are
well supported, and in some instances have advanced
on former figures. Filature sorts are about four

notwithstanding that prices are ruling some four annas
easier. Oilseeds have been in very brisk demand, and
latterly increased spirit has been manifested, in conse-
quence of a reduction in value of linseed of about two
annas per maund. Safflower is quiet, owing to the ex-
hausted state of supplies—the few parcels which have
lately found purchasers have been placed at full value.
Shell lee has been rather quiet for home shipment, but
the Americans have operated sufficiently to keep the
prices from declinicg. Lac dye is in good request at
steady prices, with a tend, ncy to improve. Silk corahs
have been taken up to a very fair extent at a previous
valuation. Choppas and bandanas have been sparingly
dealt in. In cutch wo have not . much business doing,
principally owing latterly to the enhanced requirements
of holdere. Cowries are in very moderate reqaest. The
same may be said of turmeric, which has been going
forward very sparingly of late. Rum has been quiet,
and so has dry ginger. Other articles of minor impor-
tance remain in fair demand; and although operations
have not been on any extended scale, they appear to
participate in the general improvement manifesting itself
in the produce market.
The Import Market—We are glad to be able to notice
a corresponding amendment is the position of the im-
port branch of our business likewise. The gloom and
dulness which have hung over this market so long now
begin to disappear, and although the improvement is not
great, appearances are decidedly more promising, and
we have hopes that before long we shall be able to report
a decidedly better state of things. At present, business
in British manufactured goods is restricted by the ex-
orbitant, rates of discount ruling in the up country sta-
tions, and,-in some instances, the impossibility of nego-
tiating Hoondies at all on Calcutta. Added to this,

REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE BOMBAY

MARKETS.
FROM THE 3D TO THE 13TH OF MARCH INCLUSIVE.
Bombay, March 15.

The general tenor of our markets has been pretty
much the same during the past as in the preceding fort-
night, the native dealers having bean fully occupied with
the Hoely (Hindoo) festival till the 9th instant, when
business was resumed. Grey shirtin„o's, domestics, and
the heavier descriptions of the long 'r cloths have been
chiefly in demand; but little comparatively has been
doing in them, as some buyers are holding off for the
additional supplies, which have arrived within the last
few days in eight vessels from Great Britain. The im-
portations of twist have been chiefly on native account;
and the sales effected show a small decline on the prices
ruling when the last mail left. _ _

, •
Grey Skirtings, 40-inch—ln these the demand has
been chiefly for 7 to 7ilb. qualities, and a slight advance
has been established. The sales amount to 22,000 pieces
at Rs. 3i to Rs. 5.14. Gibs. at Re. 3.12 to Rs. 3 3/}:. 71b.
Rs. 3.14 to Rs. 3.15. 81b. Rs. 4.10. gib. Rs. 5.10 to Rs.
5.12. 45 inch cloth has also been inquired for, and we
understand that 4,500 pieces have been disposed of at Rs.
4.12 to Re. 5.7.

Grey Loegcloth—The sales in these amount to 2,800
pieces, 36 by 40, at Rs. 4,5 k to Rs. 4.13 k; 3,000 pieces,
36 by 36, at Rs. 4.1.
Grey Madapollams have advanced 2 annas per piece
in price. The sales, we hear, amount to 30,500 pieces;
24,000, 24 by 32, at R.I. 1.5 i to Rs. 1.12; 6,000, 24 by
36, at Rs. 1.7; and 500 pieces, 24 by 45, at Rs. 3 to
Rs. 3.1.

Grey domestics have not been much inquired for. 150
pieces, 60 by 40, have been sold at Rs. 1.23, and 1,400
pieces, 84 by 32, at Rs. 51.
Grey T cloths are scarce; 800 pieces, 24 by 32, have
found purchasers at Rs. 3.14.
Grey jacconets are dull of sale, but we hear of a sale
of 10,000 pieces, at 20 by 40, at Rs.
Grey Drillings-500 pieces, 30 by 3'o, have been dis-
posed of at Rs. 5.6}.
Grey dhooties are also very dull of sale; 350 pairs, 10
by 40, have been sold at Rs. 23,
Bleached goods of every kind are very dull of sale;
indeed, wo have heard of no sales in madapollams and
shirtings. 15,000 pieces of bleached jaceonets, 20 by
40, have been sold at Rs. 1.14 to Rs. 6.5. 4,000 pieces,
10 by 40, bleached lappots, have found purchasers at
Rs. 1.7 k to Rs. 2.11. Allover lappets are scarce.
Bleached lappets are quite neglected.
Dyed goods have declined in value.
Twist—ln cotton yarn very little has bean done since
our last report. Mule, No. 50 and upwards' has receded
to anna per lb. or No. 20 water and No. 30 mule
the price has slightly improved.
There has been a better demand for orange yarn, and
50 lbs. have been sold at 12,-t- to 12/ alines per lb.;
10 bales Turkey red have changed hands, at Rs. 1.7
per lb.
Metals are dull of sale, and the transactions have been
very trifling. Swedish bar iron has been inquired for,
and nail rod (round) has rather improved in value. We
hear that 50 candies English bar iron have been dis-
posed of at Rs. 19i per candy; other descriptions are
as when last reported on, and copper is unchanged in
value. Pig lead in moderate demand, but unchanged in
value. Speller and tin plates declined in value. We
.notice that some heavy shipments have been lately made
to China.
.Saffren-2501b5. of this article have ben sold at Re.
17 per lb.
Cochineal—This article has again receded in value;
4,5001b5. have been sold at Rs. I.Bi.
Brandy-50 hhda. have been sold at Rs. 2i per gallon,
but the price has fallen 2 annes per gallon since.
Beer—None of Allsopp or Bass of the October brand
has as yet arrived. The Stornoway with the first ship-
ment is anxiously looked for. There have been a few
arrivals of inferior brands.
Marine stores are very dull of sale.
Cotton—There has not been so much doing in cotton
this month, and owing to recent comparatively unfavour-
able advices from China the prices have declined. Very
small lots of now crop have as yet come to market. the
stock of old cotton is now very much reduced.
Opium—The accounts from China are unfavourable
for the drug, particularly for Malwa. The price, how-
ever, has not been considerably affected.
Freights—Rates of freight have advanced; our quo-
tations are given farther on.
Exchange on England has given way to is. 11d. to
