of November, arrived on the 13th inst.
" The Bombay Castle, with China news to the
30th of November, arrived on the 20th iust.

" The statement that Lord Canning is going home
immediately seems to be devoid of foundation.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE BOMBAY MARKETS.

TIIIIRSDA.Y EVENING, DEC. 26.

Wo were in receipt on the 13th instant of the mail from
England up to the 18th ultimo, reporting a further advance
in the Liverpool and Manchester markets, but from tele-
grams of a few days' later date, which had overtaken the
steamer at Alexandria, we learn that a slight reaction sub-
sequently took place, and an the 24th instant our usual
telegraphic news via Galle reached here, reporting war as
imminent between America and England in consequence of
the boarding of an English "West Indian mail steamer by
an American man-of-war, and forcibly taking from her the
two Commissioners. This had apparently created quite a
panic in the Liverpool market, as cotton there is reported
2d per lb lower.

Money continues unaltered, and the Bank rates are un-
changed since our last.

THE CALCUTTA MARKET.
TUESDAY, Dec. 17, 1861.

The Bombay telegram, with news up to the 18th ult.,
arrived here on the 13th inst., and the mail steamer
Colombo from Gallo, with the regular mail of the 10th ult.,
arrived on the 14th. The Bombay express, with moie de-
tailed news to the 18th of November, is expected on the
20th current.

Produce Market—The demand has continued steady,
and prices remain tolerably well supported. Supplies are
moderate.

Import Market—There is still no business going on,
dealers being afraid to make such offers for goods as would
be accepted, even although stocks in second hands are all
but exhausted. Importers show an increased disposition to
hold.

Government Securities—There has been a large specula-
tive business transacted in Government Stocks, and rates
are now up fully 2 per cent. upon our last quotations. There
has since been some reaction, and the present rates are
hardly supported.

Money Market—Money is still in abundant supply, and
difficult to place at even 3 per cent. The demand for busi-
ness purposes is limited, and the only inquiry has been for
speculative purposes.

THE NEW GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF INDIA.-A

SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On the 12th inst.,
while a labourer, George Gatsclfffe, was engaged in break-
' ing stone for the highway at Thornholme, near Bridling-
ton, he found, on cracking a large grey cobble, a cannon
ball firm;) embedded in the centre of ft. The ball is in
good preservation, weighs 51bs., is apparently of not very
ancient procluctiop, and pro Waly, had been shot into the
cliff at Filet' (whence the stone was taken), and the clay in
the cliff having been formed into stone, or petrified, by the
action of the water either from the land or the sea, or the
ball may have been washed up from the depths of the
German Ocean, where it may have jaeen, a few OentUrieMs—
