On the Bth Shere Singh and Chuttur Singh quitted
Shadera for Attaree. General Sultan Mahomed
was directed to proceed to Rhairoowal to reside; and
simi'ar instructions were given as to his abode there
as those issued to Chuttur Singh and his " hopeful"
son. We shall see how events turn out; but we
cannot help thinking that (even if Shere Singh
had not escaped already) mischief will, ere long,
arise from the virtual freedom granted to these
rebel chiefs. It appears that, during the first week
of April roobkarees were issued to the commis-
sioners regarding the levying of the revenue of the
Punjaub, which it was intimated would for the next
three years continue to be collected on the same
footing as hitherto.
IVe received yesterday morning by steamer intel-
ligence from Kurrachee to the 25th ult. The only
matter of interest is an account of an affray on the
frontier between the Sinde Horse and some maraud-
ing Murrees, in which the former were signally vic-
torious. It appears that a detachment of the Horse
was relieved at Kusmore by a party from head-
quarters ; and that the relief had hardly been effected
when the new detachment was attacked by five
hundred armed Murrees. One duffadar and four men
were killed and several wounded, and it would pro-
bably have gone hard with the cavalry had the party
which they had just relieved not heard the firing, and
hastened back to their rescue. On the arrival of this
reinforcement the fortune of the day was changed,
and the Murrees were driven off to the hills with a
loss of forty killed and several wounded, besides
1,000 head of cattle which were captured by the
Sinde Horse.

The 26th Regiment of Native Infantry was in-
spected at Kurrachee by General Auchmuty on the
23d ult.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

REPORT OF THE BOMBAY MARKET FROM THE 17TH TO
THE 30TH APRIL INCLUSIVE.

Telegraph and Courier-office, Bombay, May 1, 1849.
No large sales have been made since the last mail left
on the 17th ult., owing to moderate arrivals of most de-
scriptions of cotton manufactures. The demand has,
however, been very good, and prices have been well
maintained. '

MONEY MARKET.—The Money Market is quiet, the
season being near a close, and money in consequence not
being in much request.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—New Fives were in great
request a short time back, but the demand has since
subsided, and they are now obtainable at somewhat
easier terms, say at 99i to 99i. Four per Cents. have
experienced an advance, owing to advices from Calcutta,
and we quote them now at 85 per cent.
BANE SHARES.—The market has been very quiet,
speculators having been unwilling to operate until the
result of an auction sale, which took place the day before
yesterday, was known. For quotations we refer to Mr.
Walkinshaw's Share List, published below.
ExcHANGE.—A comparatively small amount of bills
came on by the China steamer, but the wants of re-
mitters were trifling, and the Oriental Bank having
drawn, rates have been very steady at Is. 10 5-16ths to
Is. 10 id. for six months' sight bills. Calcutta rates
have declined, the amount of Court of Directors bills
and bank post bills in the market being large. About
twelve lacs of treasure arrived by the China steamer,
and a good many remittances have been sent home in
that shape.
Gold has declined, owing to the heavy supply from
China, where we learn by private advices, prices also
receded, owing to considerable arrivals from California.
FREIGHTS.—These have experienced a decline since
the last mail left, owing to several ships having arrived
from New South Wales and elsewhere, and the induce-
ment to ship cotton not being very great. We quote
the rate to London at 31. 155., to Liverpool at 3Z 12s. 6d.,
to Clyde, at 31. 155., and to China at 12r. to 13r. per cdy.
