OVERLAND MAIL

The following summary of Indian intelligence
brought by the overland mail had reached Paris by
telegraph from Marseilles.
Intelligence from Calcutta to the 6th of August
has been received.

The Punjaub was tranquil.
From China the advices were menacing. It had
been advisable to withdraw the Anglo-Indian troops
from Hong-Kong, (?) leaving only the detachment of
the 95th and other Rifles.

Sir John Davis had retained the Royal Irish, and
the 42d Indian Madras Regiment.
It was feared at Hong-Kong that new troubles
would break out, and that the island of Chusan
would be again occupied this year.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of English Wheat up to
our market, this week, have been on a very moderate
scale, and the show of samples, to-day, was trifling, the
demand for that article, owing to the heavy imports of
Foreign Wheat and Flour, viz., 35,980 quarters of the
former, and 43,920 barrels of the latter, was in a very
depressed state, at a decline on Monday's quotations of
fully 2s per quarter, without effecting any progress in
sales. Foreign Wheat—the quantity of which on offer
was large—was exceedingly dull, and quite 2s per quar-
ter lower. For export no transactions were reported.
Malting Barley was in steady request, at full prices.
Grinding and distilling sorts were neglected. The Oat
trade was steady, but we can notice no improvement in
value. Beans and Peas, as well as Indian Corn, and the
best town-made Flour, was quite as dear. Barrelled
Flour was heavy, and tho turn lower.

The imports of foreign stock having been on a very
extensive scale this week, the number of Beasts here
to-day was large, but of very inferior quality. The
few prime Scots, &c., on sale readily produced Monday's
currencies, but the value of all other breeds declined
quite 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected.
There were in the market 575 Oxen and Cows, 4,330
Sheep and Lambs, 212 Calves, and 19 Pigs from Hol-
land and Germany. The supply of Sheep was season•
ably extensive, but most of those from Hamburgh were
suffering frightfully from disease. The Mutton trade
was exceeding heavy, at a fall in the quotations of 2d
per 81bs. With Lambs we were fairly supplied, and the
trade was in a depressed state, at almost nominal
figures. Calves met a dull inquiry, and the prices were
2d per 81bs lower. In Pigs next to nothing was doing,
on somewhat easier terms. Mulch Cows sold at from
151 15s to 18/ each.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET. _ _ _

For all kinds of new Hops, the supply of which is
increasing,. we have still to report a very inactive de-
mand, and, in some instances, the quotations have a
downward tendency, they ruling as under :—Sussex
pockets, 414 s to 41 12s ; Weald of Kent ditto, 416 s to
41 16s; Mid- and East Kent ditto to 41 4s to 51 12s.
Yearling and old Hops are offering freely, on easier
terms, but we hear of no transactions in them. Although
the accounts from the plantations are by no means un-
favourabb?„ the duty is estimated at only 175,0001.
