INDIA.

By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have re-
ceived advices from Bombay to May 23, and from
Calcutta to May 15. The present mail left Bombay
five days before the usual date, in consequence of
the near approach of the monsoon.

Her Majesty's Secretary of State for India has,
it is said, sent out telegraphic orders to the Go-
vernment of Bombay to fortify Bombay harbour
without delay, and put it in a complete state of
defence. The Bombay Gazette thus refers to this
intelligence—" No doubt the orders have been issued
in consequence of the serious apprehensions pre-
vailing in England, at the date of our latest tele-
grams, of a disruption of friendly relations with
America. In the event of a war between the two
countries, the Americans would doubtless direct
the best efforts of their navy for the injury of the
British-Indian commerce, more especially of the
cot ton trade. And, moreover, the injury that Ame-
rican clipper-built steamers, privateering in the
Indian ocean and Arabian sea, might do to our
shipping may be learned from the destruction that
has been wrought by the Alabama alone. Our
Bombay harbour and our Indian waters are at pre-
sent far from a state of security against the men-
of• war and privateers of a belligerent power."
The Sindian states that the aspect of affairs with
Persia is threatening. Much important official
correspondence of a political nature is going on.
Advises from Cabool, under date 29th April, state
that there has been some fighting before Herat.
The Ameer has changed his c,,unsels, and it is
likely that a treaty will be ratified between him
and Sultan Ahmed lan.

The prizes offered by the Bombay Government in
November, 1862, with the view of stimulating and
improving the cultivation of cotton, have been
without any effect ; and Government now states
that the realisation of good prices on the spot ar''
pears the best and most acceptable reward to the
producer. The experiment made with Peruvian
cotton seed at Coimbatore in November last has
proved a failure. The plants appeared for a time
healthy and promising, but were entirely destroyed
by worms.
The port of Kurrachee is rapidly rising in im-
portance, in consequence of the impetus given to
the Indian cotton trade since the outbreak of the
American war. During the month of January,
1863, 400,000 maunds of cotton, the market value
of which was 11,70,887 re. were exported; while
in February the quantity exported amounted to
621,270 maunds, valued at 21,89,358 rupees.
A medical association is to be established in Cal-
cutta, to be designated the Bengal Branch of the
British Medical Association, with a view to watch
over the growing interests of the medical profession
in India.

It is expected that in ianuary next it will be pos-
sible to travel both from Calcutta and from Bombay
to Meerut by rail.
Street railways are to be almost immediately in-
troduced into Madras.

The China Merchant Steam Navigation Com-
pany's screw steamer Bombay Castle capsized 111
the graving dock in the Bombay dockyard, on the
21st inst. She had just undergone thorough repairs;
including new boilers and spars, and was being
moved into the harbour when the accident occurred•
From 20 to 30 men were injured. The 7zmes of
India estimates the loss to the company of £5,0U0•
The same paper says :—" We are glad to learn
that the sentence on Lieutenant Jackson is one
of four years' penal servitude, and not of
penal servitude for life, as stated by the La•
hore Chronicle. The sentence in its present shape
approves itself to our judgment, for we find it ira'
possible to believe that Lieut. Jackson intended to
kill his servant. That a most severe and cruel
beating was administered no man can doubt, and
the offence is rightly, and we think adequately,
punished by the sentence of the court-martial.
Lieut. Jackson is to be sent to Bombay."

A marked improvement in the position of the
Bank of England is exhibited by the return com-
pleted to Wednesday last, which shows an increase
of notes and gold, and a falling off in the discount
Operations of the establishment. Subjoined is our

During the last few days the operations in the
Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not
been extensive. Tea has been dull, while sugar,
except for good grocery qualities, has been a shade
cheaper. Coffee has remained inactive at pre-
vious rates, while a good enquiry has been expe•
rienced for rice, but the fresh rates demanded by
importers have, in some measure, checked busi-
ness. The tallow market bas exhibited more
animation, and a slight improvement has been
apparent for both present and forward delivery.
Although there is very little alteration either in
the demand for accommodation or the terms upon
which it is supplied, the discount. market appears
a little easier, chiefly in consequence of the favour-
able alterations exhibited in the Bank of England

return.
The Poonah, which leaves to-morrow for India
and China, will take £140,289.

Two O'CLOCK.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f. 52c. Inanimate.

Scarcely any business has been transacted this
morning in the English Stock Market, which still
continues to exhibit a quiet and dull aspect. A
more encouraging feeling has been occasioned by
the favourable Bank return, but it has led to no
change in the quotations, Consols being now
just the same as those current last evening, viz.,
91i 92, for money, and 92k a for the account.
The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 91a ILI
and the New 21 per Cents., 761. India Stocks
show no alteration of importance, the 5 per Cent.
Loan being 168 1, and the 51 per Cent. Enfaced
Paper, 115. Exchequer Bills for March are 2s.
ls. prem., and for Jane, 2s. dis.
The Foreign Market presents a less active appear-
ance, but prices, although depressed, have not varied
to any material extent. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862,
are 711 4 ; ditto Consolides, to 50* 51k; Greek,
381 ; ditto Coupons, 18; ; Mexican, 371 2 ;
Spanish Passive, 348 35k; ditto Certificates, 122 6 ;
Russian, 93 ; the Confederate Loan, 2 to 1 dis. ;
and the Venezuelan Loan, I, dis. to 4 prem.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
again been of the most limited description, and
prices have in most instances shown a downward
movement. Great Eastern, Great Western, and
North Eastern (Berwick) have each declined 55.,
and London and Brighton 15s, South Western
and South Eastern, however, have improved ss.
The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have been
Very inactive, and quotations remain unaltered.
Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares
are without any material change in values.
