The half-monthly mail from India has been anticipated
by the express, and the accounts are considered fa-
vourable.
The intelligence from the West Indies describes the
weather as being auspicious, and the crops as good, both
in respect to quantity and quality.
There are accounts of February 20 from the Cape of
Good Hope, and February 16 from Graham's Town.
The cattle demanded of Kreli had been given up, but
the settlement of the affairs of the frontier was checked
by the recal of Sir Peregrine Maitland. The arrival
of Sir Henry Pottinger was anxiously looked for. The
Thunderbolt steamer was by some expected to be got off
the rock where she struck, but there is some contradic-
tion as to the cause of the unfortunate mishap.
The foreign exchanges improved again yesterday
afternoon as regards the Continent, but a great deal of
gold still goes out to the United States. Even the cap-
tains take their freight-money out generally in specie, it
is said.
