rence, and life and property were thereby rendered more
insecure in Bengal than in the Punjab. The police re-
quires a thorough reformation." . . . "The civil
courts cannot be said to dispense justice, and they are a
source of infinite vexation and expense to suitors ; but
this is because, first, we have followed the model of the
English courts ; secondly, a native is far more gratified
when he gains his cause by his success in intrigue than
on the ground of its intrinsic merits ; and, thirdly, there
is no truth in the country and no credibility in evidence.
We might in the same manner go over nearly all the
paragraphs in the petition, and show that, with some
exceptions, there is generally a substratum of truth in
the assertions with which it abounds, although the sub-
structure too often exhibits the morbid feeling of the
writer. The colouring is so deep and sombre as to leave
an involuntary impression on the mind that the petition
does not give a fair representation of the case, and that
it makes no allowance for the all but insuperable difficul-
ties of the Indian administration."
If these are the admissions of a friendly witness,
it must be allowed that it is the duty of the Impe-
rial Government to institute a much fuller inquiry
into the working of the Indian administration than
any that has yet taken place, before it confirms the
existing order of things for so long a period as 20
years.
The London Mail of the 24th of December ar-
rived at Bombay on the 26th of Januiry by the
East India Company's steam-frigate Queen. Though
the weather was calm, and there were no aceidents
to the machinery, the Queen took 14 days between
this and Aden, being at the rate of something less
than five miles an hour, and the other Government
steamers are just as slow. In the European seas
there are steamers (the Banshee for example) which
have kept up a speed of 16 miles an hour on the
average of a year's running, and from two to three
times the speed of the Bombay Government mail
steam-boats is now constantly attained by the Ame-
rican Atlantic steamers.

with clippers at 25ir. ; for ordinary vessels the rate is
23r. to 25r.

FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY:

and for document 2s. lid: to 2s. lid. On China, 218 rs.

CALCUTTA, JAN. 19.
(From the Bengal Hurkaru.)

The Government overland Bombay express, bringing
London news to the Bth of December, arrived early on
the morning of the 13th inst.
There has been very little change in our export market
during the fortnight under notice. The shipments of
indigo to all parts from the Ist inst. are 3,490 chests,
chiefly to France. Sugar transactions remain on a
moderate scale. Raw silk has been sent forward
during the first half of the month to a full average ex-
tent ; and silk piece goods, especially corahs, continue to
attract considerable attention. Transactions in salt-
petre are moderate to all parts. Rice has been exten-
sively shipped to Great Britain. Business done in lac-
dyes has been on rather a slender scale, as compared
with the large transactions in this article of late. Shellac,
however, has been in good request. Hides, for all
quarters, have been in good demand. Oil seeds remain
in active request, notwithstanding present high prices.
Castor oil and jute appear to be both attracting more
attention of late. Nothing doing in cutch. Raw cotton
continues to go forward to Great Britain more freely
than to China. Rum is being freely shipped to Sydney,
while there is nothing doing in the article for Great
Britain.

"By the Berenice we have received the Rangoon
Chronicle, a new paper, to the 12th inst., in which we
find the following intelligence, but no particulars of the
important event announced :

By the Hon. Company's steamer Proserpine we
have received news from Prome of the downfall and de-
thronement of the King of Ava, and the desertion by its
defenders of the town of Yathay. General Godwin, it
is said, intends to destroy the defences at this place, and
immediately follow the enemy to the town of Meaday.
• "We have the following, per Berenice, from Rangoon,
and dated the 13th inst.

" General Steel's column left this for Martaban on the
4th inst., and he was to make his advance about the
14th, not before, owing to the want of carriage and
other arrangements. The enemy, about 8,000 or 10,000,
came down again the other day to Pegu with the view
of harassing the garrison. They attacked the picket on
the bank of the river near the Commissariat Wharf, killing
some of them. They had planted themselves on filo
opposite side of the Pegu river, behind a long brick wall,
which protected them from our men. On the Bth or 9th
the whole force of the enemy were seen going off in the
Shoygeen direction, forsaking Pegu. No doubt the know-
ledge of the arrival of General Steel's column at Marta-
ban had caused this retreat. A steamer came in from
Prome yesterday, the 12th. The stockade at Ithimen is
deserted, also that at Meaday. There has beeen a sort
of revolution at Ava. The King has gone off ; the heir
apparent has taken possession of the place and recalled
his troops from the above-mentioned places, and directed
hostilities to cease ; still it will be a long time before we
can look for peace. The province of Pegu must hare
more troops here to do this. Sickness at Prome is
great. Lieutenant and Adjutant Miller, 40th Bengal
Native Infantry, died of dysentery. Every steamer
nearly brings some poor fellows going away on Hick
leave. In time this will be a very agreeable spot, but
much is required to be done in it."

In our import market there is not much change, but,
unfortunately, that little change is on the wrong side,
for prices are certainly lower for several descriptions of
goods than they were a short time since. The sales of
the period under notice are decidedly moderate, consi-
dering supplies, stocks, and moderate prices. The up-
country buyers still keep aloof, and there is therefore no
outlet for goods in large quantity, and consequently no
means of sensibly reducing stocks so as to raise prices
at all corresponding to home rates. There is something,
but not very much, doing in lappets and mulls, while
books are wretchedly dull, and the sales reported quite
insignificant. Turkey red goods, twilled and plain, are
saleable to a fair extent. Printed goods are dull at pre-
sent, and likely to continue so for some time to come.
Mule twist has only sold to a small extent of late,
prices are tolerably firm, but not higher than they were.
Turkey red yarns are saleable at former rates. Orange
moves out with rather less freedom. Green continues
in good demand.

The metal market has been extremely flat, only a few
sales of copper and iron being reported.
Exchange.—Not much alteration in the rates. The

NORFOLK ESTUARY COMPANY. Monday the 13th
half-yearly ordinary meeting of the shareholders of this
company was held at the Grays-inn Coffee house, to re-
ceive the report of the directors, and to transact the
other business of the company. The chair was occupied
by Sir W. B. Ffoulkes, Bart. The report stated that
in compliance with the wish of the proprietors, as ex-
pressed at the last meeting, a bill had been presented
to Parliament to amend the laws which at present
govern the proceedings of the company, which had
received the first and second reading, and stood
committed for the Bth prox. It also stated that the
directors had held several interviews with the Eau
Brink Commissioners, with a view to the amicable
arrangement of the differences at present existing between
the two bodies, but without any favourable result. The
statement of the accounts up to the Bth instant gave
the following particulars :—The total receipts from the
foundation of the company amounted to 160,8271. ls.
lid., and the balance in hand amounts to 3,5531. 13s. 3d.
The Chairman moved the reception and adoption of the
report, which was unanimously agreed to. The outgoing
directors and auditors were theca re-elected. At this
stage of the proceedings, the Chairman declared the
general meeting concluded, and announced that in pur-
suance of notice a special meeting would be then held to

fore Parliament. The meetixig having accordingly become

after which Mr. Deaker 'moved, and Mr. Arme seconded,
a resolution to the effect that the meeting approved of
the bill, and ordered, that the common seal of the com-
pany should be affixed to it. A vote of thanks to the
chairman terminated the proceedings.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

( Front the London New Price Current of yesterday.)

SUGAR.—To-day there were ready buyers of West India
sugar for home consumption; and the prices offered are
fully equal to those of Friday both for grocery and refining
sorts, but business was checked by a scanty supply. At
auction 300 hhds and 10 boxes Barbadoes went freely at
firm rates ; fine yellow at 39s to 40s, middling to good 37s
to 38s 6d ; 76 hhds Demerara crysalized, brown 32s Gd to
35s Gd, and ordinary to good yellow 36s to 39s 6d. Total
operations amount to 460 hhds, &c., and the market closes
with a firm aspect.
REFINED.—TO-day the home trade demand was active
for refined sugar, and stiff prices were obtained; brown
lumps selling at 45s 6d, and low to fine grocery 46s to 48s
6d per cwt. Crushed sugar much wanted by exporters at
former terms.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the supply was more
plentiful of Madras sugar, and prices rather declined, still
at auction 8,700 bags were nearly all sold, middling to
good middling grocery at 34s to 365, low 31s to 335, and
soft yellow 29s to 325. The demand remains good for
Bengal, and former terms are well kept up.
FOREIGN.—Since Saturday a fair amount of business has
been concluded in Foreign Sugar by private treaty, and
stiff rates are obtained. A cargo of fine brown Parabia sold
at 19s 6d ; 2,000 chts yellow Havannah duty paid 35s to
398; some parcels Bahia, brown 31s to 31s, and yellow
34s 6d to 365.

- -

change. Costa Rica is wanted, and stiff rates are offered,
but few parcels can be obtained. Mocha sells more freely,

good home and export demand has prevailed, and the ad-

on offer.

OILS.—A material increase is apparent in demand for
Sperm, and there is an advance-881. to 901. having been
obtained, and 901. to 931. for Ffeadmatter. Seal is more
plentiful, and not being much required prices have given
way.

experienced, and fine yellow Candle is 44s to 44s 3d per
cwt. Operations are immaterial for delivery, and at 44s
there are sellers for last three months of the year. Home
melted is cheaper, 44s to 44s 6d per cwt having been ac-
cepted, cash, yet the demand has been good.
