INDIA.—The commercial advices by the Overland
mail to-day show no revival in any of the markets, but
an absence of heavy arrivals had operated, both at Bom-
bay and Calcutta, in preventing an increase of heaviness.
At Canton transactions had been more numerous, but
at lower prices, except for metals ; while at Shanghai,
in consequence of the progress of the rebellion, business
was in a great measure suspended. The Singapore dates
are to the 4th April. Transactions were limited, the
Chinese dealers having refused to buy at present rates,
and holders being firm. Four vessels had been char-
tered to load coals at Labuan, and the accounts from
that island and Borneo Proper were to the sth of March.
The new Sultan of Borneo had formerly ratified the en-
gagements made by his predecessors with the Eastern
Archipelago Company.
FATAL ACCIDENT.—LOSS OF' EIGHT LIVES.—About
four weeks ago, a fishing-boat, containing eight men,
put out to sea near the distri ct of Ness. The practice
is to shoot the lines used in the deep sea fishing, and
when night comes on the part ies lull themselves to sleep
in the bottom of the boat. Mae friends of the crew in
question, having found that tins boat had not returned as
usual, went in search, when they discovered that it
was stove and upset. As the wreck was tied to the
painter, which is generally sec aired by a stone and a
buoy to denote the boat's position, and as a vessel
was seen hovering out at sea not far distant from
where the boat was floating, it was thought that,
during the darkness of the night, and while the crew
were fast asleep, the vesse I. must have run her down.
Thus instantly perished eight persons. The vessel's
name cannot be ascertainec l, and the cause of the acci-
dent is merely conjectural , as none of the crew sur-
vive to tell the sad tale,— -Inverness Courier.
