INDIA

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have
received files of papers from Bombay to the 12th
of February, and from Calcutta to the 4th of
February.
We take the following summary of news from
the Tones of India :
" The rebel leader Desput Sing has been slain in Cen-
tral India by a party of Sepoys, after a desperate resistance.
It is confidently stated at Calcutta that Sir Charles Treve..
lyan is prepared to propose the abolition of the income tax.
The Indian Electric Telegraph Department is about to be
thoroughly reformed, and the lines now in use are to be
superseded by posts and wires of permanent construction.
The reform is due to the representations of the Bombay
Government. The Hon. M. H. Scott has introduced a bill
into the Bombay Legislative Council to punish as fraud the
adulteration of cotton. The members of the Commission
some time ago appointed to report on the adulteration of
cotton and other descriptions of produce in Guzerat have
submitted the result of their inquiries to Government. Mr.
Denis Hely has been tried in the High Court of Calcutta
for riot and murder in the affray which took place in No-
vember, 1861, near the estate of the Messrs. Morell in the
Soonderbunds, 100 miles from Calcutta, and has been
acquitted. The B. I. Steam Navigation Company's steamer
Burmah was completely wrecked off Pulicat, near Madras,
on the 27th of January; passengers and crew saved, but
the cargo and luggage entirely lost. His Excellency Sir
William Mansfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay
Army, arrived at Nusseerabad on the 30th of January, after
having paid a visit to Ajmere. He next proceeds to
Neemuch, and from thence to Mhow. General Farrell will
shartly resign the command of the Mhow Division of the
army, his tour of service having expired ; he will, it is
, expected, be succeeded by Major-General Honner. Colonel
Oucherlony, of the Madras Army, has issued a prospectus
of an Indian Contract Building Company. Three
thousand shares, of £lO each, have already been taken
up in the Madras Presidency, and there is reason to believe
the scheme will be supported elsewhere. His Excellency
Sir William Mansfield has recorded a further minute on
European vagrancy in India. The European inhabitants
of Calcutta have given a grand ball in the Town-hall to the
Countess of Elgin, in acknowledgment of the hoopi alities
of Government-house. A dinner was given at the Byculla
Club on the 29th of January to the senior officers of the
Indian navy, the officers of her Majesty's ship Severn, and
the officers of the French frigate Japon. The Rajah of
Bhownuggur has given £l,OOO to the Lancashire Relief
Fund.

MONEY-MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTEL-

LIGENCE.

BOMBAY, FEB. 12.

The Galle news by the last Calcutta steamer came to
hand on the 4th inst. The Behar, with the direct English
mail of the 19th ult., came into harbour on the morning of
the 10th inst.
Money has been in more demand, and the Bank of Bom-
bay has raised the rate of discount 2 per cent. In the bazaar,
however, money is procurable on somewhat easier terms
than at the bank.

Exchange on England has further advanced,and we quote
bank bills at 2s. 15-16 d. to 2s. Id. ; first-class credits at 2s.
11-16 d. to 2s. lid., and document paper at 2s. lid. to 25.
lid. The market closes rather in favour of sellers.
Government Securities.—Fives and Fives-and-a-Half
declined about a half per cent., but have again rallied, and
we repeat our last quotations—viz., Fours, 94/rs. ; Fives,
104/rs. ; and Fives-and-a-Half, 112 rs.
Imports—There has been a continuance of demand from
up-country in the bazaar during the fortnight, under the
influence of which prices have gradually hardened, and
our quotations for gray goods are again, in almost all in-
stances, considerably above those of our last. Within the
last day or two there has also been some slight inquiry
making by speculators. Certain descriptions of shirt-
ings, as 36-inch and 45-inch goods, are becoming very
scarce, and holders are, as a rule, indifferent about sell'ng.
The daily clearance from the native bazaar we have heard
variously estimated at from 300 to 500 packages of gray
goods a day, but in any case there can be no doubt that a
considerable impression has already been made upon stocks,
and as there appears to be every likelihood that during the
remainder of the season there will be an equally healthy
demand before the monsoon, wo shall probably see a great
scarcity of many descriptions of staple goods. Glasgow and
other fancy goods within the last few days show signs of
improvement, and as the hot weather approaches are likely
further to advance.

Freights have declined 10s to 16s since last mail left, in
consequence of duller advices of the cotton market at home
and the arrival of several large vessels from Galle in ballast.
There is but little inclination to make engagements for im-
mediate shipment, and until tht new crop arrives in quan-
tity it hardly seems likely that rates will rally. We quote
rates as dull. For Liverpool—Cotton, £3 108 to £3 16s ;
seeds, £3. For London—Cotton, £3 10s to £5 ; seeds, £3,
