(From the Times.)
We have been favoured with a copy of the Bombay
Tones, of the 2d of December, from which we make
the following extracts :
The past fortnight has proved an unusually barren
one in intelligence. The insurrection in Cashmere
is now fairly over ; the Sheik Einaun-oed-Deen sur-
rendered himself into oar hands on the 31st of Octo-
ber, and the troops advancing on the lately dis-
turbed country were immediately ordered to return
to quarters. Sir John Littler's forces commenced
their retrograde movement on the 4th, and
reached Lahore on the 12th; ; the General himself
having quitted them on the march and proceeded
to Loodiana. The troops sent from Ferozepore
to occupy for a time the Seikh capital moved out on
the -Le h
I and took their way in the direction of the
Satlej. The brigade of Colonel Wheeler were at
Seculkote, in the Jullundur Doab, on the 10th. The
Moult en misunderstandings seem fully arranged, and
there appears every reason to believe that the provi-
sions of the Treaty of Umritsir will be satisfactorily
carried out, and our army within our own dominions
13Y January, 1847—a triumphant answer to the cen-
titers of the pacific policy now for the first time tried
an India, and likely to be gloriously successful.
Sinde continues quiet: Rumours are rife of the
immediate retirement of Sir C. Napier from office.
According
the 12th to one -account he will quit Kurrachee on
, of December ; according to another he will
extend his stay till March ; no one expects that he
Will remain
till the approach of the hot season. The
rumour mentioned in our last, that the messengers
bearing letters to her son from the mother of Meer
She/Wad had been pursued, arrested, and stripped of
their dispatches, by order of the Governor, after he
bad given them a safe conduct to Surat, proves authen-
tic. This most extraordinary proceeding is supposed
to have been resorted to with a view of
discovering some matters in the letters of a parent
which
might criminate the son and help to eke out
that singular species of justification of the conquest
of Sinde supposed to be contained in the blackening
cf the character of the Ameers ! The climate within
the Delta continued cool and healthy, but at Sukkur
Considerable sickness prevailed. Three companies of
artillery, one regiment of cavalry, and five of in-
fantry, are about to be withdrawn from the country,
leaving still behind a force of about 15,000 men.
'When the expedition, 13,000 strong, moved on Ba-
havvulpore in February, 9,000 were sent from
I3ombay to join them or supply their places : none of
these have hitherto been withdrawn. The Bengal
forces which returned to Upper India were about
6,600 strong. The local corps having been doubled
left a force, which still remains on the Indus,,
of nearly 24,000 men. By the proposed re-
duction of betwixt 7,000 and 8,000, it will still
remain 16,000 strong. At this it sto3d when
the Parliamentary returns showing that the country
cost us nearly 1000,0001. a year were made
tip ; from November,. 1845, to November, 1846, the
military charges must have been nearly doubled : the
balance required to be drawn from India will now
°nee more fall back to about 1,0001. a year. The
rive per Cent. Loan, which this fearful drain has
created, is filling up slowly, and one of six per cent,
h talked of. The late Ministry are said to have
been favourable to the restoration of the Ameers.
The Whigs are restrained from this by the order
of the Duke of Wellington, who backs out Lord

Most auspiciously, and there seems every reason to hope
that the peaceful policy contemplated will be carried out
In the spirit of the original treaty. We had scarcely
gone to press with our overland summary of the 16th
ultimo when letters reached us from Sir John Littler's
camp, intimating that the troops advancing on Cashmere
bad received directions to retrace their steps. The in-
surgent leader had surrendered, and the insurrection was
at an end. Colonel Lawrence, who had quitted Lahore
on the 15th of October, had gone forward with the Seikh
forces from Lahore and Jamoo, now united, and they
were at the town of Kojote on the 30th of October.
This is within the pass, and considerably ahead of the
divisions under Sir J. Littler and Brigadier Wheeler.
Here the raja to whom the town and district belonged
came in to make his peace with us. The Sheik Emaum-
oodeDeen had actually quitted Cashmere on the 23d of
October, the day originally named by him. Captain
Edwardes, having been sent out to meet him, received
him close to the Peer Punjul Pass on the 31st. The
sews having been immediately transmitted to Colonel
Lawrence, the order already referred to was issued to the
army in the rear the very day of the surrender ; it
reached Lahore by express on the 2d, and was generally
promulgated on the 3d. Captain Edwardes joined the
Seikh cam with his charge on the Ist of November,
when it was intimatedintimated that the insurgent leader was iu keeping of the British agent. This is said to have con-
siderably displeased the Jamoo chief, who would most
likely have desired to deal with his enemy, in considera-
tion of the trouble he had occasioned, in a manner some
Ewhat different from that considered most befitting in
Lnglish eyes. The tidings of the surrender of the Sheikh
ached Brigadier Wheeler at Bheembur, and here he
alted on receiving them; when he retraced his steps to the
right bank of the Chenab, and encamped there on the 4 h
of November. The troops belonging to Sir J. Littler's
force which had not crossed the river were ordered to

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From

BOUBAY, DEC. l.—Since the departure of last mail
our market for imports has continued in a very de-
pressed state. The sales of the past fortnight are limited

10 amount, and prices generally exhibit a considerable
upon those current a few weeks ago : this
state of things has been caused entirely by the gambling
bargains in opium, to which we alluded in our last issue,
arid until the result of the Government sale of opium,

pacel on the 30th ult. at Calcutta,
here we cannot but have commercial

serious interruption to business. The Afarwarree dealers

:-:e.sun, have bee i eutii•ely am,pendid.
Metals—A lair amount of business has been done in
these during the past fortnight. Sales have t.ileti place
in Swedish bar of 300 tons at 49ir., and of 200 tons
ditto at 50r. per candy, which prices exhibit a slight
decline on our last quotation. British bar has not
fluctuated in value. Hoop and nails aro also without
change. Square nail rod has been disposed of at 47r. per
candy, which is an advar;ce on former rates of 2r. to 3r.
per candy. For round nail rod 45r. per candy are now.
: offered. In Spit( r, we are informed of a sale of 3 000
cwt. at 11r. per cwt., beinri Ir. below last quotation.
The stocks of copper on hand are very light, but this
article attracts little or no attention, and prices may be
said to have undergone a slight decline. The offers for
Souls American (select parcels) are not above 48r. to
49r. per cwt., and for inferior slabs considerably less ;
but we hear of no sales.

Cotton Manufactures—The prices for piece goods have
generally ruled lower than they were, but the firmness
on the part of holders has prevented any great decline.
No demand c:-In be said to exist for any particular kind
of fabrics in the present depressed state of the market.
Grey domestics 45 to 50 in. continue to be saleable, but
do not more than realise cost., * Low grey jaconets and
madapollams have been sold to some extent, but at mi-
serable prices. We also bear of a large sale of 45 in.
grey skirtings at sr. 7a. to 6r. Ga. Lappets, and in-
deed almost every description of fancy goods, are quite
neglected.
Cotton Yarns—The market for Twist is extremely
dull. Nos. 20 and 30 mule are inquired for, but at a re-
duction of to anna per lb. upon the prices quoted in
our last. The higher numbers of mule are quite neg-
lected. No. 40 may be valued at Ba., No. 50 at na.,
No. 60 at 10a., No. 70 at 101 a. A large sale of No. 20
water twist has been made during the fortnight of very
inferior quality, at 6i-a. per lb.
Woollens—Sales are reported to us of 475 yards drab
cloth, 56 in., at 2r. 2a.; and 1,170 yards fine blue and
drab cloth, 62 in., at 4r. Ba. We also hear that large
sales have been effected in inferior qualities of scarlet,
and at extremely low prices.
Marine Stores—No change has taken place in the
prices of these, nor have we heard of any transactions.
Beer—A sale of Allsopp's has been made at 65r. per
hogshead, and 15 hogsheads of Hodgson's have been dis-
posed of at 60r. per hogshead.
Spirits—Sales have taken place in French Brandy (in
wood) at rs. 3.2-0 to 3-4-0 per gallon ; in English
Brandy of good quality (in wood) at 3 rs. per gallon ;
and also in Gin at 2 rs. to 2i rs. per gallon.
Saffron—A sale is reported to us of 7001 b. (inferior)
at 8 rs. per lb., and some of this article damaged has
been disposed of at 5 rs. per lb. Good quality is scarce.
Cochineal—This article continues in good demand,
and stock on hand is very light. Prices have an upward
tendency, and we now quote an advance an former prices.
A sale has taken place of silver at 4 rs. per lb.
