banks have lately re-
duced their rates of discount 2 per cent. Upon the
the opening season of activy ; and when our corn-
i
whole, we consider that the prospects are good for
muncation with the coast is freely re-established, and
the inland traders appear in the market, we expect to
witness an extension of business and improved prices
for imports.
Cotton Piece Goods—For these there has been a
very general inquiry, but dealers having been very
chary of their offers in the absence of a demand from
the interior, transactions have been restricted. Within
the last four days, however, dealers have evinced more
spirit, and an improved business has been done, par-
ticularly in gray goods. Gray shirtings and mada-
pellams of low quality, and middling and low jacco-
nets, have been the kinds most sought after, and have
all experienced an advance in price. The prices for
shirtings are up to what they were in April last, and
some kinds are 2a. to 3a. higher. The advance upon
low jacconets is about 4a. on the extremely low prices
of last season ; few sales of these goods have been re-
ported to us. In domestics there have been some ex•
tensive sales, but the quality in request is a low make
for dyeing, which has realised about the closing rates
of last season, and for which la. advance is now
obtainable.
In bleached goods, the principal inquiry has been
for shirtings, middling to fine, and for jacconets up
to middling quality; the former have improved
4 to 6 annas per piece, and the latter about 2 annas.
In Scotch goods, lappets of all styles, low quality,
have been inquiredfor, but the higher kinds are dull
of sale, as are also mull mulls, and the prices of all
are similar to those of last season. Zebra and
pine dresses continue neglected. Jacconet and
mull stripes, low to middling qualities, are in some
request.
Dyed Goods—Turkey red plain cloth and prints
are inquired for, but at very low prices, which have
prevented transactions. We have heard only of a
sale of the first named, 1,000 pieces, 24 inches, 28
yards, at rupees 8.3 k per piece ; and of a trifling sale
of 200 pieces Turkey red chintz, 28 inches, 28 yards,
at ltn per piece. If there are a continuance of the
present disposition of dealers, and of firmness in
holders, a further general advance may be looked for.
Cotton Yarn—The transactions done in grey since
the 18th of last month consist of about 1,348 bales of
mule and water. The article has been more in fair
request, hut more extensive sales have been prevented
by the unwillingness of the principal holders to part
with their stocks unless at an advance upon the cur-
rent rates of last month, and which they have suc-
ceeded in establishing to the extent of a quarter of an
anna per lb. upon water, Nos. 20 and 30. The prices
realised are as follows :—Mule, No. 20, 6i annas ;
30, 7 ; 40, 7i ; 50, 9:1; 60, 9/ annas per lb. Water--
No. 20, annas 71 to 7/ ; No. 30, annas 8 to 81.
In Dyed Yarn there has been a brisk speculative
demand for orange, of which about 75,00016. have
changed hands at prices varying from 9/a. to 120.1 a.
per pound, according to quality and weight of the
bundles; the former price being for average No. 40
in bundles of 111 b., of objectionable shape, and the
latter having been obtained for a first-rate well-known
uality of 40, 50, and 6J, in 7ilb bundles. Turkey
red has not yet recovered from the depression occa-
sioned by the extensive forced sale of 50 bales of very
best quality, in bundles weighing 1211 b., at rupees
1-9-6 per pound; the same quality sold last season at
14 per pound at auction.
Woollens continue without any change, being still
quite neglected.
Metals—There has been some movement in our
iron market. English bar has continued in good
request. In the early part of this month 300 candies
were sold at 35 rupees per candy, and we hear that
37 rupees have been lately refused. In Swedish bar
nothing has been done. For sheet iron there has been
a good demand on speculation, and various parcels
have changed hands at prices progressing from 71
rupees up to 7i rupees per cwt., the latter having
been given for a choice parcel, and establishes an
advance of one rupee per cwt. on the price of last
month. Square nail rod has also improved in
value. 5,100 bundles were sold about the
middle of the month at 43/ rupees and 43} rupees
per candy, hut since Cocoanut. day 800 bundles
nave realised 44 rupees, and 1,600 bundles 45 rupees
per candy. The last figure shows an improvement in
price of 3 rupees per candy since the 18th of July.
We have not heard of any transaction in round nail
rod, but its value is likewise improving. In hoop
iron there appears to have been nothing done beyond
a sale of 1,035 bundles sea-water damaged, at 5j
rupees per cwt. Copper is in less request, and its
value has slightly receded ; 400 cwt. of braziers and
sheathing having been disposed of at 69 rupees,
and 200 cwt. of tile at 53 rupees per cwt.
Pig lead is in demand, and its value is
quoted at 10i rupees per cwt. Swedish steel has
oeen sold to the extent of 1,000 tubs at 91 rupees per
cwt. We are not aware of any change having taken
place in other metals, and no sales have transpired.
Cochineal-2,6201b. of silver were sold in the early
part of this month at 41 rupees per lb., and 4,0001 b.
to arrive were disposed of at rupees 3 13-16 per lb.,
but recently a large supply has been imported,
15,0001 b. of which are said to have beon sold in one '
parcel at 41 rupees per lb. We are not positive, how-
ever, as to the price.
Saffron—We look for an inquiry for this article
after the final close of the monsoon.
Beer—Within the last fortnight the dealers have
cleared off the stocks of Allsopp and Bass in im-
porters' hands, consisting of about 1,600 hogsheads of
65 rupees per hogshead. Allsopp's continues to be
much wanted, and we quote its present value nomi-
nally at 70 rupees. In the absence of the two above?-
named brands from the market, 85 hogsheads of
Hodgson's ale have sold at 65r., and 50 hogsheads of
ferment's at 52r per hogshead. We are informed
also of a sale of 50 hogsheads of porter at 47r. per
hogshead.
Spirits—Brandy is in demand. Brown has been
sold at 3/r. per gallon, and pale at 3 15-16 r.
Marine Stores—There is little to notice under this
head. The market continues very dull for canvas,
and we cannot quote above 15r. per bolt for bleached.
Cordage, 16r. per cwt. for the best. Of White lead,
400 cwt. have been sold at 141 r. per cwt. ; this article
is scarce, and worth at present 15 per cwt. No
sales are reported of Red lead. The stock of Paint
is greatly reduced, and prices are pretty firm as fol-
low : W hite, I Ir. ; green, 11 ir. ; red, 10r.; black,
9r. In tar or pitch nothing has been done; the quo-
tation for the former is Er., and for the latter 2ir. per
barrel. Stockholm tar 14r. per barrel.

EXPORTS.
The cotton market has been very firm since the re-
ceipt of accounts per the Overland Mail of the 7th of
July, and prices have advanced, 102 rupees per candy
having been paid for 500 bales of good Surat, and 98
rupees for ordinary Broach ; but transactions must
continue very limited until fresh supplies arrive, as
the email quantity on the spot is very inferior. To-
wards the close of next month we may expect to see a
considerable quantity come forward. Our presen
quotations are—

Rs. per candy.
Broach and Surat ... 98 to 102
Dhollera and Gogo 95
Oomrawutty ... 93
Compta (to arrive) ... 83
Sheep's Wool—The only quality at market is
Marwar, consisting of about 500 candies of inferior,
for which 80 to 90 rupees per candy are the rates
quoted. Of the other descript;ons we shall receive
supplies as soon as the trade with the coast and Sinde
is resumed.

Opium—There appears to he only an inferior qua-
:y at market, which is dull of sale.

FREIGHTS.
At one time in this month tonnage was very scarce
and wanted, and a vessel was taken up for Liverpool
at 71. 103. per ton ; but in consequence of some
arrivals of vessels, and the want of suitable cotton for
shipment, the rate has declined to 61. 10s., which is,
however, nominal. We have now several vessels in
port, for which there is not produce sufficient to
afford employment until fresh supplies of cotton come
forward.

import from Great Britain during the past three years,,
together with the reported sales ; although the latter
cannot perhaps he relied on as pert ctly correct, still
it will €rrible shippers from England to form sumo
idea of the stocks in hand in this market.

There is evidently an increased easiness in the
Money-market during the week, discounts for mer-
cantile accommodation being procurable at easier
rates,:and the new Government Five per Cent. Loan,
which was but lately at a comparative heavy dis-
count, has advanced nearly to par, and within the
last few days several payments have been paid into
the Treasury on this account. The operations in
exchange for the present dispatch have not been ex-
tensive, but former rates have been well maintained,
and in some instances purchasers have been obliged
to submit to a slight deoline. Freight had a droop-
ing tendency during the first two or three days after
the arrival of the steamer, but the demand for sugar
having increased, agents have been able to obtain a
sligh advance, and rates are now firm at the quota-
tions given.
Indigo—There is very little change to notice in
the prcspects of the present season, and that little is,
generally speaking, of an unfavourable tenor, with
the exception of a few factories in Jessore which
were improving; but should the constant rains ex-
perienced in Calcutta during the last five days have
extended over Lower Bengal, there will doubtless be
heavy complaints of the falling off in produce. The
latest accounts from Tirhoot continue unfavourable,
and there is little chance of that district reaching
even an average season. From Benares, Mirzapore,
and Shahabad, complaints are rife of the injury the
plant had sustained from the early drought, and the
continued heavy rains experienced during the past
month have prevented it from recovering.
The subjoined list of the different districts, and their
probable outturn, will be found pretty correct from
present prospects, but the result may be changed by
a few thousand maunds by the prevalence or other-
wise of favourable weather during the remainder of
the manufacturing season :

EXCRANGE.
The rate on London has not varied much during
the month, although considerable operations have had
effect--say from Is. llfd. to Is. llid. The mail
from China arrived to-day, and brought a further
supply of bills into the market, which have been
selling at ls. hid to Is. 11 9-16 d.—the latter is the
present rate for first-class paper. For the rates on
Calcutta, Madras, an China, we refer to our quo-
tations.

Sugar—After the receipt of the last inteiligence
from England, there was very little demand for this
staple ; freights, however, have given way a little, and
native holders having shown a disposition to ship on
their own account, a rather better demand has sprung
up, the exports from the Ist inst. up,to the date being
61,215 maunds to Great Britain.

Saltpetre—The French and Americans, who have
been the principal purchasers of this article for some
time back, having partially ceased operations, the
market has been very dull, no demand whatever ex-
isting for England.

The exports from the Ist inst. up to date are—
Great Britain 3,256 2,launds.
France
North America.....

Rice—The favourable accounts of the corn markets
home have caused less demand fur this article ; and,
although freights are obtainable on rather easier
terms, shipments during the week have fallen off.
Exports from Ist inst. up to date are
Great Britain..... ...... 24,609 Maunds.

Raw Silk—There is not a single transaction re-
ported during the week; holders are anxious to realise
but shippers do not seem disposed to operate even at
the low prices now ruling.
Exports from the Ist instant up to date are :
Great Britain, 286 maunds.
Silk Piece Goods.—A fair amount of business has
been done in corahs during the week, confined,
however, to the finer sorts, which have been taken
at 116 to 120 per corge for seven yards, and 140 for
nine yards.
In choppahs and bandannas there has been nothing
doing.

In the minor articles of export, namely, shellac and

very little doing, and no alteration in value has
taken place. Exports from the Ist instant up to date
are North.

but without any improvement in price ; for North
America there has not been so much doing. Exports
from the Ist instant up to date are—

IMPORTS.
British Cotton Piece Goods—A large amount of
business has been done in nearly all descriptions of
goods under this bead. Medium and low gray shirt-
ings continue most in request, of which sorts con-
siderable sales have been effected ; during the past
two days, however, there has been less inquiry. Grey
jacconets have not been in so good demand, and to
effect sales to any great extent a decline in present
prices would have to be submitted to. Gray mado-
pollams are rather more difficult of sale. For
bleached shirtings the inquiry has not continued, and
the slight advance previously obtainable has been lost.
Considerable sales of bleached madapollams are re-
ported, principally of the low and medium sorts.
White jacconets have also found purchasers, but in
most instances at a shade decline on former rates.
Coloured and printed goods are very dull, and, to
effect sales, a still further reduction on previous low
rates must be submitted to. Turkey red cloths are
in demand at former rates. The demand for book
muslins, lappets, &c., is very dull. There are some
small sales of coarse woollens reported, but at very
low rates.

Mule Twist—Holders of white cotton mule twist
continuing to evince an anxiety to reduce their stocks,
a further decline of about 1 pie per morah has been
submitted to, at which figure a large amount of busi-
ness has been done; the reported sales of the week
amounting to nearly 900 bales.

Coloured Yarn—There has been a fair amount of
business doing i❑ German dye, Turkey red at a shade
decline ; in orange and other colours there ar• no
sales reported.

Metals—The market for copper has been rather dull
during the week, but no decline in value has taken
place, holders relying on short stocks to maintain
prices. The same remark applies to spelter, of which
no sales are reported ; still, holders will not reduce
their demands. The principal transactions of the
week, in iron, have been of damaged sneet, which has
been sold at 5-1 to 5-3 per factory maund; fresh is
still wanted, an,l commands 6-2 to 6-4. Some sales
of boiler-plates are reported 4 8-6 per factory maund.
In other sorts there is not much doing.
EXCHANGE.

The declining state of exchange in England previ-
ously noticed, has continued, and present rates may be
quoted at 1-111 to 1-11 f per rupee for first-rate 10
months' date paper.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 2.
PETITION DISMISSED.-IN RE JOHN JARYIS.
The insolvent, who had been a tobacconist in Ful-
wood's-rents, Holborn, appeared to be heard on his
interim order.

A solicitor opposed on the part of a creditor whose
name was not inserted in the schedule. He com-
plained of the omission.
The attorney for the insolvent craved permission
to insert the debt, and for an adjournment to the
final order.

Mr. Commissioner EVANS refused to grant an ad.
journment to amend the schedule, and at once or•
dered the petition to be dismissed.—Dismissed ac.
cordingly.

BANKRUPTCY OF HILL AND ➢IONKHOUSE.
The bankrupts were wharfingers, at Mann's-wharf,
near London-bridge, and had filed no accounts.
The messenger's man under the fist had allowed the
furniture to be removed off the premises by Monkhouse,
and the Court held the person answerable for the
property removed.
The present sitting was for the audit. The tickets
for the furniture pledged were exhibited in court,
and the question was, whether they were to be given
up to the official assignee or merely deposited with
him.

His HONOUR decided that they must be given up.
Mr. LORD, who attended for the assignee, repre-
sented to the court that no accounts had been filed.
The creditors were determined to bring the men to
justice. All the property in the case had been claimed,
and with the exception of a few pounds in the hands
of the official assignee, there was no property—not a
farthing for the creditors.
His Ho.Noua asked what information the assignees
had obtained as to the furniture pled2ed ?
Mr. LORD said the evidence proved that it had
been purchased by the bankrupt in the name of his
son.

His HONOUR--Nell, the ease must be adjourned
sine die.

An application was made for protection.
His HONOUR— No, not for an hour.
The bankrupt Hill applied to the court for its con-
sideration, He was willing to file his accounts if
Monkhouse would assist him, and he believed there
would be something for the creditors. He, however,
could not get an accountant to prepare the balance-
sheet under 151. or 201.
His HoNouu—Nonsense, man, you don't want an
accountant. If you can't make out accounts you
should not have gone into business at all.
The bankrupts promised to file their accounts in a
month or six weeks.

The COURT gave them six weeks' time, and pointed
out to them the perilous situation in which they
,tood. If the accounts were not filed they would be
committed to prison, and there they would remain.
Mr. Commissioner EVANS—Now attend to me ; I
shell commit you to prison if the accounts are not
filed, and you will not get out again without a su-
perior court says I am wrong, which I don't think it
will do.

The case was adjourned to the 17th November,
with protection.

) Seagar, clerk to Gardner and Holliday, of No. 4,
Pancras-lane, who were a few days ago committed
for trial upon the charge of having conspired with
) Cusell and Loup to defraud Mr. Gray, of Marine-
! place, Commercial-road, rope-maker, of a large
quantity of cordage, was brought before the Lord
Mayor, for final examination, upon the accusation of
having been concerned as a particeps criminis.
Mr. Huddleston appeared as counsel for the pro-
secution, and Mr. Brown appeared as solicitor for the
defence.
Mr. Gray, in addition to his former statement,
said—The-packages were sent to the Custom-house
Wharf on the 11th of June. On the 28th of June I
called at the office of Gardner and Holliday, and saw
Seagar there. He told me the goods had been
shipped, and I was to draw a bill at three months for
the amount. He took the bill off the file, and I dated
the bill of exchange the 16th of June, being the day
of the delivery of the last goods. He said that
Gardner and Holliday had gone to the docks about
some goods, respecting which there was a dispute.
I asked him if any goods were shipped. He said
they had been shipped. The receiving order pro-
duced is the one I sent with the goods to the wharf. '
Mr. Brown—Did not the defendant say that the
goods were delivered to their shipping department at
the wharf? Witness—He did not. He said dis-
tinctly that the goods were shipped. When I called
at the office Gardner and Holliday were not there,
and the defendant said they were gone to the dock
about the goods relative to which there was some
dispute. I asked him whether the goods were shipped,
and he said they were, and that I was to draw the
hill at three months, and they would be back in a
quarter of an hour, and would accept.
John Holdsworth, waterman, of Rotherhithe, said
—On the 12th of June I was employed to take six
packages of rope from the Custom-house Wharf to
the 'West Kent Wharf. Seagar is the person who
employed me. Seagar, who accompanied me to the
West Kent Wharf, passed all the papers. I neither
signed anything nor gave any directions. Seagar
paid me for the job.
Cross-examired—l was sent to takethmeegnt ; butoodsto
Waterloo bridge. That was my agree
Seeger came so late to me thatthendttdr predor,eldzknodt
the
an-
swer, and we could not get there, a
West Kent Wharf, where I knew there would be
plenty of water.
Mr. Charles Thorn, clerk at the West Kent Wharf,
said—l remember when a quantity of rope was
brought to the wharf. There were six packages, and
they were brought by the last witness and the de-
fendant. They were taken away on the 14th in a
cart. They had been deposited at our wharf in the
name of Seagar. I believe the parties who brought
the packages said they could not get higher up, on
account of the tide, and they would be obliged if the
goods were allowed to remain.
Kr, uobert Booth, Auctioneer, of Budge-row, said

—The defendant brought eight packages of rope to
my warehouse on the 14th of June. Mr. Gray,the
prosecutor, and his son, saw them. I was there when
they called. The goods were not packed in packages.
They were open, and there was no mark upon them
that I saw. They were brought for the purpose of
being sold by public sale, and having some money
advanced upon them. A Mr. Rodwell came with the
defendant. The defendant said he wanted 2/. a hun-
dred-weight upon the rope. I asked him, when he
went to make the writings, whose the rope was ? He
said it was his own. I asked him what he dealt in ?
He said, in the description of goods I sold in my pub-
lic sales. I did not ask him who made them. I said
I could not let him have more than thirty shillings a
hundred for the rope, and that he would have of course
the more to receive when I should sell it. He said to
me that he carried on business at No. 2, Triangle-
terrace, Camberwell. I advanced him 211. upon 141
cwt. 16 lb. I saw him afterwards on the 14th of
August. He came in the afternoon of that day, and
said that he came to take away the rope, as he could
get a better price for it than I could, and I charged
him 3/.

Cross-examined—l do not know Mr. Rodwell's ad-
dress. I have known him these 26 or 27 years. I
believe he is a merchant.

James Davison, carman to Mr. Ayres, Bermondsey,
at the time of the transaction, said—l was employed
on the 14th of June to take the packages of rope from
the West Kent Wharf to the premises of Mr. Booth.
The rope was in packages when I took it from the
West Kent Wharf, and the wrappers, with the ship-
ping marks upon them, were stripped off on Dow-
gate-hill, and the rest of the covering was taken off
before they arrived at Mr. Booth's auction rooms. I
did it myself, by the direction of the defendant. I
did not receive any payment for the job.
Mr. Gray—l have seen the rope described. It is
the same rope which I packed on the 11th of June,
and sent by Pearce to the Custom-house Wharf.
Mr. Huddlestone—That is the case against the
defendant, whom I now ask your Lordship to commit
for trial.

The LORD Meron—Certainly I shall commit the
defendant to take his trial with the other defendants
at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr. Brovvn—What bail will your Lordship take for
m y client's appearance at the Central Criminal Court?
The Lord Mayor—His own security for 2001., and
two sureties for 1001. each.
The defendant was then committed.
We were given to understand that a book which
was found secreted in a cupboard at the office of
Gardner and Holliday, upon information given by
Seagar to the policeman who apprehended him, con-
tained the particulars of frauds committed by that
firm to the amount of several thousands of pounds.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SHOPMAN.—
Wm. Henry Pitman, late clerk and shopman to Mr.
John White Moore, the celebrated sporting print
publisher, West-street, St. Martin's-lane, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, charged with em-
bezzling various sums of money, amounting to up-
wards of 4001.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had
been in the employ of Mr. Moore as clerk and shop-
man for more than seven years, at a weekly salary of
1/. 16s. About a twelvemonth ago the' prosecutor
had a suspicion that the prisoner was robbing him, hut
as nothing could be found against him no more notice
was taken of it till about a month after, when the
prisoner was seized with the rheumatic fever, and
was absent from his employment more than six
weeks, during which time the prosecutor paid
him his full salary. In the prisoner's ab-
sence, the prosecutor had occasion to call upon
Mr. Janes, the landlord of the Sir John Falstaff,
Bridges-street, Covent-garden, when on applying for
a bill of 2/. 19s. 63., he was surprised to hear that it
had been paid to the prisoner. The prosecutor then
called upon Mr. John Govin, of Hart-street, who in-
formed him that he had paid to the prisoner the sum
of 47/. lie saw nothing of the prisoner till the pre-
vious evening, when he met him in St. Martin's-
lane, and gave him into custody. He had ascertained,
by going through his books, that the prisoner was
a defaulter to the extent of between 400/. and 5001.

Mr. Janes, of the Sir John Falstaff tavern, proved
paying to the prisoner, in February last, the sum of
2/. 19s. sa., receiving a receipt for the same, signed
by the prisoner.
Mr. Cozens, of 50, London-wall, proved paying
to the prisoner 2/. 65., and produced a receipt for the
same.

The prosecutor begged for a remand, as he should
be able to prove several other charges against him.
Mr. HARDVfICK remanded the prisoner for a
week.
