FACETIOUS THIEVES —A few nights ago, the
counting-house of Mr. John Haigh, of Godley, was
entered by thieves, and finding nothing else worth steal-
ing, they stole the dog I The counting-house of Messrs'
Crossley and Learning was also entered, but nothing
found ; a great savage dog, as in the first instance, being
no protection. The following memoranda had been
entered in two books by the thieves, in

[ADvElFrisirmENT.]—AN AFFECTION OF THE SPINE
AND LIMBS CURED BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT` AND
PILLS.—Mrs. Reynolds, landlady of the William the
Fourth Inn, St. Ives, Hunts, had been ill for fourteen
months with an affection of the spine, her feet and legs
were dreadfully swoollen, and she became perfectly
helpless. Several eminent surgeons and physicians at-
tended her, under whose care she derived no benefit,
but by the recommendation of Mr. Prior, druggist, Bed-
ford, she tried Holloway's Pills and Ointment. These
fine 'medicines, in about nine weeks, so completely re-
stored her to health and strength, that she is now able
to resume the duties of her household with ease and
comfort.—Sold by all druggists, and at Professor Hol-
loway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.

OVERLAND MAIL

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Times.)
'We have received by extraordinary express Bom•
bay papers and correspondence to the 13th ult.,
brought by the Moozuffer steamer, dispatched to
Suez to convey the new Governor-General (Lord
.Dalhousie) to Calcutta. The following is the letter
of our correspondent :

" BOMBAY, Nov. 12.

" The steamer Moozuffer starts this day for Suez,
for the purpose of taking the new Governor-General,
the Earl of Dalhousie, from Egypt to Calcutta. She
has been equipped in a manner hitherto unknown in
the Indian navy ; the object is to prove to his Lord-
ship that this branch of the service is in a most
efficient state.

" The news from India is not remarkable. Peace
prevails in the British territories. Lord Hardinge
is proceeding from Simla towards Calcutta ; he is
expected about the 17th instant at Lucknow. The
King of Oude is making preparations for his recep-
tion. An attempt was made to attack Lucknow by
a neighbouring Raja, and a fight took place near
Secunderapore, in which the plunder-loving Raja
was defeated. Oude may be looked upon as far from
being in a prosperous state.
" The Nizam's country is still disturbed. The
Nizam himself has occupied tents outside the walls
of Hydrabad ; his Minister joined him, but soon
afterwards haft the camp, which was deluged by the
rains. On his asking permission from his master
to withdraw, the Nizam told him he had come un-
asked, and might take his departure in the same
manner.

" There appears to be an expectation prevalent in
that country of the approaching interference of the
British power to effect proper arrangements in its
disturbed, ill-governed, and oppressed districts.

" From Sinde or Lahore there is no intelligence
of importance.
"There has been some heavy rain in Bombay,
which has cooled the atmosphere, and the cool season
has set in. The Governor has been to Mahableshwar,
and is going from thence to visit Viziadroog, in
order to learn if the harbour there can be rendered
available now as it used to be under the Mahratta
Governments. Viziadroog is conveniently situate
for the troops proceeding by sea; they can there find
a safe anchorage, and proceeding thence to Belgaum
and the S,iuthern Mahratta country.

" The visit of the Governor of Bombay to Sinde is
expected to take place in December. The London
mails of the 7th of October arrived here on the 9th,
and the new Puisne Judge, Sir W. Yardley, was
sworn into office on the 10th.

" There is to be a regular mail dispatched from
hence on the 15th, and I send this letter in case the
small mails dispatched by this opportunity shall reach
London previously."

Although the political news referred to by our
correspondent is not of a stirring character, it will
be regarded with pleasure, as indicating a state of
nearly profound tranquillity. The postscript of his
letter, however, conveys most important and truly
favourable accounts of a commercial kind. " You
would be delighted to hear," says the writer, " that
although we have accounts of all the disasters in the
mercantile and financial world in England, not a
single commercial house in Bombay has suspended
its payments. Regret is felt certainly for the failures
of .old and respectable firms in London, but the
most perfect confidence in the capabilities of all the
Bombay houses (at least) to maintain their credit.
Of this you will find convincing proof in the very
large remittances that go to England by this extra
steamer."

CALCUTTA.
Bengal Hurkaru Office, Calcutta, Oct. 30, 1847.
GENERAL RFAIARKs.—The holidays terminated on
the 24th instant. During the interval of closed markets,,
the only event of interest was the arrival of the mail of
7th September on the 17th October. The tenor of the
commercial news was again unfavourable—continued
dearness of money, further failures of some magnitude,
depression on the produce markets—and there was a
general disinclivation in all quarters to extend operations
until confidence was in some degree restored.
The export market during the week has been hardly
so brisk as it was before the holydays, but as yet no
change of much importance has occurred. Sugar has
opened rather flatly, the business doing being only
moderate. There are buyers of silk, bat the market
was swept of all available parcels before the holydays,
and new arrivals have scarcely commenced. Corahs are
more abundant, but are taken less freely than before.
Saltpetre remains in brisk demand at high rates. Rice
shipments are again in progress. Jute is arriving freely,
and sells readily. Shell lac is dull. Lac dye, linseed,
and hides remain in large and steady demand for Ame-
rica. In opium nothing doing.
The import market opens briskly, and in all its
branches there is more spirit than has been witnessed
for a long time. Cotton goods are in more general in-
quiry, and in Manchester plain cloths, both gray and
white, an advancing tendency is apparent. Mule twist
has been more wanted. In metals, however, the market
exhibits most improvement. Copper, spelter, iron, all
showing rising and remunerative prices.
The money market does not show much change. The
Bengal Bank parlour, on Thursday, reduced their rate
for loans on Company's paper from 9 to 8 per cent. per
annum, which will, doubtless, cause a slight advance in
the value of that description of security.
Exchange was rather unsettled for a day or two after
the resumption of business, and at one time appeared
likely to go up. It has since, however, nearly settled
down at about the rates current before the holydays,
viz , for first class paper on London-
6m. s. Is. 11 d. to Is. l lid. per rupee.
10m. d. ls. lld. „
Some transactions at 2s. to 2s. d. were reported for
last mail.

Freights have had a disposition to rise, the arrivals
during the hol3 days having been less numerous than
might have been expected. Business has since been done
at 61. ss. to 61. 15s. for sugar. Present rates may be
quoted 61. 10s. to 61. 15s. per ton to London.
Indigo--The manufacturing season being over, and
the moiling season not having commenced, there is

nothing to call for any remark. Estimates are by some
a;aia somewhat reduced; 112,000 at 114,000 mds. ap.
pear now to be the probable out-turn.
Sugar—The sales of sugar during the week are on a
more moderate scale than previous to the holydays.
Price 3 are without any noticeable alteration at present
—first quality Benares Co.'s Rs. 9 to 9 6 per mil. Really
fine is now scarce, and would bring higher rates, viz.—
Co.'s Rs. 9 8 to 9 12 per mil.
In other sugars we do not hear of much business
being in progress.
Raw Silk—Little of any silk was left unsold when
the markets closed on the 14th, and we only hear of one
small parcel having since been received. There are
buyers at about the rates current early in the month.
Silk Goods—A fair quantity of Corahs are at market,
but there appears less desire to purchase, the home
market continuing in so stagnant a condition. Really
first quality native goods may be quoted Co.'s Rs. 120 to
125 per corge.
A sale of Choppahs at Co.'s Rs. 125 per corge is re-
ported.

Saltpetre—The demand of saltpetre is fully main-
tained, although the accounts from England by last
mail were less favourable. The Americans buy freely
at recent high rates. The best descriptions we quote
Co.'s Its. 62t0 7 0 per md. Fair Gudna Co.'s Rs. 6 6
to 6 10. Chuprah Co.'s Rs. 5 10 to Co 's Rs. 6 0 per rod.
Rice—The accounts by the mail being rather more
favourable, shipments to Great Britain continue on a
considerable scale, chiefly of inferior qualities.
Shell Lac—Remains dull, and without report of sales.
Lac Dye—Common qualities are in good demand for
America, to which quarter considerable shipments are
in progress._

Linseed—ls in free inquiry for America, and a large
business is doing—good cleaned is Co.'s Rs. 1-15 a 2-1
per md.

Jute—The new crop comes in and meets with ready
sale at Co.'s Its. 12 to 12 8 per bale ; superior Co.'s Rs.
13 per bale.
Cotton—We do not hear of sales being made although
shipments to Ragland continue.
Opium—The stock being now 143 chests only, busi-
ness in this drug must remain abeyance until the sale on
the 28th proximo. The present price of Patna is nomi-
nally Co.'s Rs. 1,225 per chest. The price of the first
sale Opium in the Bazaar is about Co.'s Rs. 1,150 for
Patna.

Freights—The rates opened after the holydays at about
the same currency as before, but arrivals coming in
slowly, some advance has since been obtainable.

Imports.

Cotton Goods—A decidedly better feeling has been
manifested in demand, and for some descriptions of
cloth, particularly grey and white shirtings, madapol-
lams jaconets, and grey twills, a more active market
has been experienced than for many months past.
Stocks being light of some of these fabrics, a consider-
able advance in some instances has been established.

Glasgow muslins and fancy goods show no change of
moment in prices, but there is more inquiry, and some
appearance of a large business being shortly done.
Shirtings—Ordinary and middling 40 inches grays
have advanced fully two to four as per piece, and are in
active demand, 3fi inches of similar quality are also sale-
able at this advance. In ordinary and middling white
shirtings there has been quite a spurt, and being very
moderate in stock, the market has still a rising tendency
The advance is from 4 to 6 as per piece—in some in-
stances even more.

Mule Twist—A fair amount of business bas been
done and at better prices than were obtainable before
the holydays.
Turkey Red Twist-50 bales German have been sold
at Company's Rs. 0 7 7 per lb. British dye at Com-
pany's Rs. 1 6 to 1 61 per lb.
Woollens—Continue in fair demand at full prices.

Copper—The market for all descriptions of copper
continues to advance, and from the almost total absence
of stocks a decidedly upward tendency is apparent. It
is difficult to quote . the value of sheathing; a small
parcel has been sold at Company's 44 Rs., but a choice
assortment would bring a higher rate not under Com-
pany's 46 Rs. per md. Tile is worth Sa. Rs. 37-4 per
factory maund.
Spelter—There has been a good deal of excitement in
the Spelter market, and an advance of 1 rupee per
maund, since the commencement of the holidays. The
large sales made them from Ct. Rs. 10-12 to 11 were all
taken by a combination of four leading Marwarrie firms,
who have since commenced a system of time bargains,
similar to those which used to be made for opium, with
a view to raise the value, arrivals continuing very mode-
rate for the present. Sales have been made at Ct. Rs. 14
to 12 2 from importers.
Iron has also advanced, sales of English bar have
been made at Co.'s Rs. 3 10 to 3 12, good assorted Co.'s
4 1 per md.
Tin Plates—Which six weeks since were quoted at
Co.'s Rs. 25, are now down to Co.'s Rs. 15 8 per box, at
which a sale of 500 boxes has been made. Prices at
Bombay and Madras are still very high.
Beer—Bass's has been sold at Co.'s 70 per hogshead.
Salt—Liverpool, stoved, has been sold at Co.'s Rs. 83
common Co.'s, Rs. 46 per 100 maunds; Gulph and Co.'s,
Rs. 55 per 400 maunds.

Long Cloths—ln Canton there has again been an ex-
tensive business done in grey fabrics, amounting to not
less than 50,000 pieces, at dolls. 2.20 to 2.50, which is a
shade under last month's quotation. In whit es transac-
tions have been limited to about 12,000 pieces, but the
prices obtained for the finer qualities show an improve-
ment of fully 10 to 15 cents. per piece. The arrival of
these goods in the neighbourhood have been rather
heavy of late. At Shanghae holders were firm by last
accounts, and it appeared to be the prevailing impres-
sion that some advance in price would be obtained on
the flew teas and silks arriving at
market in greater
abundance. At Amoy the demand has been fair for
both kinds, at something over Canton rates.
Long Ells—There has been some stir in the market
for these goods, and sales to the extent of 7,000 pieces,
chiefly of inferior quality, are reported at about dolls.
7.50 to 8.30 for assorted, and dolls. 9.50 for scarlet per
piece. At Amoy the market is still unsupplied, and for
a moderate batch of either description, good prices could
be obtained.
Opium—Previous to the arrival of news of the 9th
and last sale, Bengal drug was firm at dolls. 665 for
Patna, and dolls. 645 to 650 for Benares, but no sooner
was the fall in prices in Calcutta known than our market
receded from dolls. l 0 to 15 per chest, at which it is
now dull and difficult of sale. Malwa continues to de-
cline, and cannot be quoted over dolls. 500 per pecul, in
this neighbourhood for the best drug, At woosung it
has also given way to dolls. 480 and 485 sycee. Turkey
may be nominally quoted at d 0115.400 and 410 per pecul.
The stock is moderate, though quite sufficient for the
demand.
Pepper has receded to dolls. 4.30 and 4.60, at which
we hear of 2,150 peculs having been placed, leaving a
stock on hand of about 4,000 peculs.
Putchuck—Notwithstanding that the principal part
of the stock is still held speculatively, rates have given
away to dolls. 6 to 5 per peen].
Rattans—Only one small sale of 33 pecul of Straits is
mentioned at dolls. 1.50 to 2.50 per peen]. Good Ben-
jermassim are much wanted, and a moderate quantity
would readily command a high figure.
Rice—ls without alteration. We hear of a cargo of
about 1,800 peculs of foreign grain of good common
quality having been realised at dolls. 1.45 per pecul.
Saltpetre—Has given way somewhat, under recent
heavy arrivals.
ions re
Sandalwood—No transact ported, but Malabar
• quoted as before, while may be nominally South Sea
Island Wood will command an advance of doll. 1 per
pecul on the current rates of last month.
Shark Fins—Have been in demand to the extent of
600 peculs, at dolls. 33 to 50 for Sanga, and dolls. 15 to
22 for Madras per pecul. There is none offering..
