CALCUTTA MARKETS.
(From the Overland Star, Jan. 24).
By the Bombay express and regular mail we were, on
the 17th and 18th inst., put in possession of London
dates up to the Bth December. The commercial intelli-
gence is again far from being of a cheering character, low
prices for all East India produce continuing to charac-
terise the home markets, added to which the aspect of
political affairs ia. France was very lowering.
