CALCUTTA.
(From Campbell and Burgett's Overland Summary.)
The general anxiety felt for the safety of the Had-
dington with the home mail of the 24th of January was
only allayed on the 17th instant, when the Bombay ex-
press letters with London dates to the 9th of February
arrived, and tidings were received that some accident to
her machinery, a short distance from Suez, had com-
pelled her to return to thitt port, where she remained for
repairs, the passengers and the general direct corre-
spondence waiting for the Oriental to be conveyed to
their destination. .

and political intelligence had a disturbing influence on
general operations, and the reserve assumed in which

of the somewhat improved position of a few leading
staples, have, as regards these, imparted renewed firm-

Our import market, we regret to say, cannot be de-

of those for the lower qualities of gray shirtings and
white jaconets, the markets fur almost every article of

left, - Mule twist has also experienced neglect, and the
value of the medium numbers has given way 2 to 3
pica per morab. The reported sales of this article do
not exceed 500 bales during the fortnight, and
since last week the deliveries have fallen of con-
siderably. The inquiry for coloured yarns, especially for
the Tuikey red kind, has been languid. Gray shirtings
