INDIA AND CHINA MAILS.
MARSEILLES, SUNDAY, March 8.
The Messageries Imperiales steamer Labourdon-
nais, with the India and China mails, and 43 pas-
sengers, arrived here at 5 a.m. to-day.

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 Times 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superseded by posts and wires of permanent construction.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 is 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 erew 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
shlrtly 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 reascn 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 hospi 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 2s.
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, 944r5.; Fives,
104irs. ; and Fives-and-a-Half, 112 rs.
Imports—There has been a continuance of demand from
up-eountry 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 30-inch and 45-inch goods, are becoming very
scarce, and holders are, as a rule, indifferent about selling.
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, we 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 lOs to 158 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.
T here is but little inclination to make engagements for im-
mediate shipment, and until the new crop arrives in quan-
tity it hardly seems likely that rates will rally. We quote
rates as dull. For Liverpool—Cotton, £3 lOs to £3 16s ;
seeds, £3. For London—Cotton, £3 lOs to £5 ; seeds, £3,

CALCUTTA, Feb. 6.

ACCIDENTS DURING THE PROCESSION.

In Pall-mall some alarm was created among the
crowd by a cab-horse taking fright, and dashing at
full speed amongst the people. Two men, John
Roaks, a picture.frame maker, and Isaac Tucker, a
carpenter,were knocked down and run over. They
received severe injuries, and were removed to
Charing-cross Hospital. A number of accidents, of
a more or less serious nature, occurred from the
dangerous practice of rushing between the horses
and vehicles in the streets. A boy named Smith
was so badly injured by a kick from a horse, re-
ceived near London-bridge, that he was removed to
Guy's Hospital, where the operation of amputation
was performed, and his life is despaired of. Several
females and children have been injured from a
similar cause. In the rush consequent upon the
passing of the procession along Pall-mall East
several ladies were thrown down and severely in-
jured. Mrs. Lydia Constable, 31, Cleveland-street,
was trampled under foot, and was in imminent
danger of her life. Her shoulder was dislocated,
and she received severe contusions. She was re-
moved to the Charing-cross Hospital by the police.
At the same time Eliza Searle, 34, St. Martin's-
lane, was thrown down and received injuries of a
similar character. Several others were also injured,
and had to be conveyed to the hospital, where the
house surgeon, Mr. Mallam, attended to their re-
quirements. A cruel outraage was committed in
the same street, upon a boy named James Edward
Blatch, aged 15 years. He got hold of a shilling
that had befit foolishly thrown from a window
amongst the crowd. A man immediately knocked
him down, and then Ml, sitting, on his flee, and
remained in that position until the poor boy gave up
the shilling. The boy had to be carried to the hos-
pital, where he was found to have sustained dreadful
injuries to the face. At other hospitals several per-
sons came for the surgeons to dress wounds received
in fights for places, and in one instance from a blow
from a policeman's staff. During the dreadful
crush which took place in the crowd endeavouring,
to pass through the iron gates at the entrance
of Hyde-park, after the procession had passed
through, a poor woman with an infant in her arms
must have been crushed to death through her
anxiety to save r child, when a volunteer officer,
who it was afterwards ascertained was Lieutenant
Hamley, of the Duke of Cornwall's Rifle Volunteers,
seized it out of the arms of the mother, and carried,
or rather was carried with it, holding it up as high
as he could across the road at Hyde-park-corner,
and down about 50 yards in the Green-park, when
he laid it down almost exhausted; and although
many who had witnessed Lieut. Hamley's conduct
offered to take the child, he refused to leave it until
the mother came. It turned out that the mother
was pushed by the crowd down Piccadilly, and it
was halt an hour before she recovered her child.
On her finding it her joy was so great that she
could scarcely speak. She was after wards assisted
home by women who were passing. She was the
wife of a bricklayer living somewhere in Pimlico.

Mr. Weekes, sculptor, and Mr. Boxall, portrait
painter, have been elected Royal Academicians. The
honours of the Assoeiateship have been given to Mr. Le
Jenne.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A sad accident,
resulting in the immediate death of two men, and
serious injury to a third, occurred on Thursday on the
South Yorkshire Railway, near Wombwell Station. The
three unfortunate men formed part of a gang engaged in
repairing the line, and when a train approached they
either did not hear, or did not understand, the warning to
stand clear, consequently the train struck them, killing
two of their number, named John James and BiLgley
Swallow, on the spot, and so injuring the third, named
Thomas Turner, that there seems to be no hope of his re-
covery.

PRINCE ALFRED A LIEUTENANT.—A letter from
our Malra correspondent, under date of March 3,
says'- " His Royal Highness Prince Alfred, since his re-
moval to the Royal Naval Hospital, has been progressing
most favourably. Last week shortly after his removal, he
passed his examination for lieutenant. The captains who
examined him were the Hon. F. Egerton, of the St. George ;
W. 0. Stewart, of the Marlborough; and Commander Mar-
soil, of the Firefly. Directly the ceremony was over his
commission as lieutenant was handed to him, and he now
awaits his passage to England to join her Majesty's ship
Racoon. It is strange that he should have passed his first
step to promotion in an hospital."

Sir Robert Peel has forwarded a cheque for £2O

THE ANGLO-CHINESE EXPEDITION.—On Thurs-
day last a magnificent despatch paddle steamer,
ordered by Captain Sherard Osborne for his Anglo-Chinese
fleet, was successfully launched from the yard of Mr. John
White, of West Cowes, Isle of Wight. Her leading dimen-
sions are as follow :—Length between perpendiculars, 239 ft.;
breadth of beam, 29ft. ; tonnage, builders' measurement,
1,000 tons. The engines, which aro of 300-horse power,
are constructed by Messrs. Day and Co., of the Northam
Ironworks, and will be placed and fitted on board in the
Southampton docks. From the beautiful lines of this very
handsome steamer, and the reputation of her builders, this
last new addition to Captain Osborne's fleet will, it is con-
fidently predicted, attain a high rate of speed under steam.
The screw steam yacht Thule, lately the property of Mr.
Arthur Anderson, has been purchased for use as a despatch
boat for the fleet, and is fitting out for the purpose in South-
ampton docks,
