MONEY MARKET.

"Sinde, Jan. 7, 1847.
• The Quartermaster-General's department to be reduced,
ale police department to be curtailed, many brigade majo-
rities to be done away with, Queen's officers holding appoint-
ments in Belooch corps are to return to their regiments, and
a variety of heterogeneous situations to be abolished, and to
be spoken of as things that were.
" The 14th Regiment marched into Kurrachee on the 7th
instant. The 13th were duly reviewed by the Gallant
Officer commanding at Hyderabad, and the 18th were eagerly
expecting the same honour about the 6th inst. preparatory
to a pleasurable and enlivening trip to Shikarpore. Tb'
4th Rifles are to have the benefit of sea air at Kurrachee
after their late residence in the North Sinde pandemonium.

guess. Since the corps entered Sinde one officer
and five have been obliged by sickness to leave the country.
One year's residence at Gharra two summers at Hyderabad,
an expedition to Kusmore, in the middle of the hot season,
and a still greater infliction in the shape of a weary, wretched
rush up to Bahawulpoor, ought to be considered a tolerable
three years' work.”--Bombay Times, Jan. 16.

tended to remove the onus which otherwise would have rested
on him.
" What is intended to be done with the barracks

be with hospital, &c., for a whole European infantry regi
meat? It scarcely appears likely that any European corps
will leave Kurrachee, and risk health and life to occupy
them. Upwards of a lakh and a quarter has been already
expended upon them, and it is estimated that they will cost
a considerable sum more to be thoroughly completed. •
" The last native festival at Hyderabad, the Mohurrum,
did not, I am sorry to say, pass over without bloodshed.
On the final night, the 28th ultimo, a skirmish took place in
the town between some turbulent sowers of the Sinde Ir-
regular Horse and the police, headed by the kotwal. It
appears that the sowars, in viewing a taboct, insulted some
women, who were also looking at the tumasha. An alter-
cation ensued, and the police interfered. The sowars were
armed with swords, and on being ordered to give up their
weapons, one of them, instead of complying, inflicted a
severe wound on the head of the kotwal. A regular battle
then took place, and the kotwal received further injuries—
several of the sowars and policemen also being wounded.
Mane of the former were made prisoners by the latter, and
one of them died the next day. A court of inquiry; of which
Lieut.-Colonel Corsellis is president, is now investigating the
tragical occurrence, and we shall doubtless soon know the
result.

The Banks have advanced their rate of discount one per
cent., money having been rather more in request, owing
chiefly to heavy payments in the Five per Cent. Loan. Of
bills on Calcutta a sale to the extent of five lacs, held a few
days ago, produced an average of Rs. 95-15-6 for Rs. 100 at
thirty days' sight.

Exchange indicates a slight advance, being now quoted

than buyers, the sales of English goods not having amounted
to much, and the purchases of raw cotton being consider-
able. The rate of exchange on Calcutta at sixty days sight
is now stated to be at above Rs. 98-15 6 ; on Madras and

CALCUTTA MARKETS.
• CALCUTTA, JAN. 21.
THE MONEY MARKET.—We have but little change to I
notice in this market since our last issue of the 7th inst.
The market continues active; advances and accommodation
for general commercial purposes are required, but transac-
tions of safe character command means at current rates.
The outward remittances by the two last mails have been
contracted not exceeding Co's. Rs. 30,000,000; but money
for all purposes is still abundant. The purchases of Opium at
the second Government sale were paid up on the 12th imt.,
without occasioning any change in monetary relations. The
third sale of the season will be held on the 25th inst.,
and will take about Rs. 31,000,000 towards purchases for
which we believe provision has been made; payments into
the Treasury towards the re-opened five per cent. loan con-
tinue; we understand that it will be closed upon Rs.
1,00,00,000, and that about Es. 80,00,000 are already sub-
scribed. The following shows market value of bullion and
foreign coin, and the rates of banking transactio:, ; thelatter
exhibits no change from last quotations :

The 'Tribunal of Correctional Police in Paris, gave
judgment on Saturday, in a prosecution against Madame
Hahnemann, widow of the deceased Dr.
ne Hahnemann, the
homeopathist, on a charge of practising medici without
being legally qualified, The defendant had urged in her
defence, that she was assisted in her practice by two qualified
physicians, and had herself obtait.ed a diploma for a foreign
college of medicine; but the tribunal, finding from the evi•
dence that the two physicians were subordinate to Mposseadam ese
Ilahnemann, and the foreign diploma which she ss
gives her no right to practice in France, withoutant a special
authorisation to that effect, declared the defend to have
violated the law, and condemned her topay a fine of 100 t:,
and the costs of the suit.
