We have received a Bomb.lyPaper of the 28th OCA.
COMMERCIAL REMARKS.—Since our last report of
the .sth inst. Our markets have undergone little alone-
non in any respect, and we are unable to note
any general improvement having occurred in
prices, those of British manufacturing being
still much depressed, while exchange and freights
have scarcely varied, and the same want of
demand for imports ia still too variable ; which, when
viewed in connection with the smallness of the stocks of
many articles, now lower per Laps than for along period,
shows a diminution in the resources and ability of the
people, for which it is not easy satisfactorily to accouot
in any other way than by the too wide spread 40'
poverishment experienced from the present, if not per-
Eminent removal of the very considerable capital
ployed in the China trade, much of which has been
placed in jeopardy, while nearly all has been withdrawn
from circulation by the general stoppage, which, it is
much to be regretted, is still in operation. Ne
advices have as yet been received, either of
the renewal of intercourse with the Chinese,
or of the acknowledgment of the British Government
of the indemnity to opium holders, on both of which a
return to a more satisfactory state of things mutt depend.
The general want of activity at present prevailing maY
also be partially traced to the near approach of the De'
wati festival, when the annual settlement of native
accounts takes place, and which has always a dimi-
nishing effect on transactions. While prices of import
keep so low and discouraging, no abatement or compen"
sation is met with by finding exports at moderate prices •
those still current, although the great outlet to China
is
at present cliched, being too high to leave much hope of
a fair resel tin British markets.
COUNTLY PRODUCE.—COTTON.—Prices have lately
shown a considerable tendency to give way, but as yet
no decided fall has taken place. As the coming crop,
however, is, by all accounts, with but trifling exception,
a very promising one, the decline may be expected to
proceed with the advance of the season, when it arrives
at maturity. The transactions of the week have been
small, and been confined to some parcels of Dholera
at
117 rupees, and of Jumbooser at 137 rupees per Clink.
OPIUM may be said to held no price, as nothing in
the way of purchase or sale is taking place, and only
small shipments are being made by importers in diminu
tion of the stock, which amounted, on the 23d instant'
to 9,565 chests.
The annual opium advertisement in the Gazette Las
only been once inserted this season, and not been re'
peated.
PEPPER.—The Market is very barely supplied at pre-
sent, but articles from the coast are soon expected.
GINGER.—The present quantity in Market is Wall
and chiefly of inferior quality.

PERSIAN AND ARABIAN GULP PRODUCE.
(MOCHA )—The quantity imported lately has not :els"

rupees per maund there is very little inquiry for it-

Worm is still in great request, and parcels

continued in good request. and
SHEET (SWEDISH) continues in good demand,
the stock low. ceding
LEAD (PlG.)—Exports have recently been Pr"
favourably, and the stock is now reduced to a moderate
compass, and prices have advanced. of tile
in the market, a small lot has been sold at 56 rupee:.
per cwt., being the highest price which has been 0
tamed for a long period. The inquiry for other descrip-
tions continue.
QUICKSILTER.—There is a fair demand for it at
COPPER.—Owing to the very small quantity
about 95 rupees per maund, while the stock held is
light.
SAFFRON is in very little inquiry at present.
YARN MULE.—We have no improvement in prices
to notice, and which is hardly to be looked for under
existing circumstances, while Stocks are also heavy,
and supplies continue to arrive on a large scale.
TWIST ( WATER.)—Tnere is some inquiry for high
numbers, but others are without improvement.
MONEY MARKET.—Government securities are in
good inquiry, but the market is barely supplied. Four
per Cents. are at a shade less discount than they were.
No five per Cents., Transfer Loan Notes, nor Bank
Debt Stock is offering.
BILLS ON LONDON.—Drawing rates continue at
about the same price as in the beginning of the month,
from 2 to 21 k per rupee, at six months' sight, or nine
months' date. Very few foreign bills have lately come
to market, and without the aid of which or more en-
couraging advices from England, improvement cannot
be expected.
On Calcutta, Government have advertised a sale of
Lye lace of rupees, of thirty days' sight bills, for the
31st inst.

On Canton the state of affairs in that quarter pre-
cludes any operations in them.
(From the Military Gazette.)
We have heard a story of Sir H. Fane intending
to put Sir Jasper Nichols under an arrest for an undue
assumption of authority. We have at present some-
thing like two Commanders-in-Chief in India ; as Sr.l
Henry intends going home, we think he ought to do it,
and start at once.
The cholera is said to be prevailing still among the
Kurnoul force.
Our letters of the 13th, we rejoice to say, speak more
favourably of the health of the troops ; but our infor-
mant, a medical officer, considers that the cholera, lately
raging in General Wilson's camp, was greatly nurtured
by its low and insalubrious site.
Jouornoric.—The following letter is written from
the Marette on this side of that city, dated Camp Pee
chuark, Oct. 7 :—" We broke up from before Judpore
on the morning of the 3d ; and I believe our departure
was hastened by the appearance of the cholera in our
camp. A t the time of our arrival it was making much
havoc in the city of Judpore, and among the ragamuffin
followers of Maun-Sing and his Rhatores. We try to
get rid of it by making easy marches without any
halts ; but it still clings to us, and several Sepoys, u
well as camp followers, have fallen victims to it,"
