OVER LAND MAIL

1 N U I A.
The intelligence brought by the BorAbay mails of
:he 15th of February is not of {pleat importance.

The mercantile affairs of Calcutta avid Bombay appear

to engross much of the attention. of the newspapers.
The exposures effected of t'ne proceedings of the
Union Bank of Calcutta, during the last year, are
absolutely appalling. T.'ne shareholders, who see
ruin staring them. in the face, have made some efforts,
and a contribution of 20 per cent. is to be levied on
the shares. The Laudable Assurance Company is
involved, from having invested their funds in the
securities of that bank. The state of commerce in
the east of India is affected by those important pro-

ceedings.
In Bombay another subject of discussion has arisen
in the new Act for improving the Small Cause Court,
which was proposed to the Legislative Council at
Calcutta by the Chief Justice of Bombay, Sir Erskine
Perry. This is looked upon by all enlightened men
as a vast improvement. As it will simplify many of
the suits, and enable the suitors to obtain speedy
justice, a sort of hole and corner opposition has been
got up against it in Bombay. Misrepresentations and
abuse are abundantly scattered on the subject. Sir
E. Perry, who went to Calcutta in the month of
January, has explained the matter to the Legislative
Council, and the Act was to have been passed in the
beginning of March.
The opposition which was raised against it had
become divided, and there was everyprobability of this
vast improvement being carried forward. The parties
most opposed to it were the attorneys and lawyers,
who united to perpetuate their old system of plucking
the natives.
The Governor of Bombay went to Sinde on the
10th of February ; he was accompanied by two
secretaries, and was not expected to return from the
banks of the Indus until the end of March, when the
great heats are felt there.
From the Punjaub there is not much news. The
settlement of that country is going forward. A quan-
tity of treasure, amounting to 250,000/., was found
buried in a house once the property of Lall Singh ;
half of the money has been handed into the British
Treasury in payment of the Sheik liabilities.
Sinde presents nothing remarkable, except the
news of an unusual fall of rain in the northern part,
and the loss of another steamer, by carelessness, in
the Indus, where she struck on the anchor of the
Satellite, and soon filled. She had a part of the 9th
Regiment of Native Infantry on board, who, with
their kit, &c., and the engines of the steamer, were
saved.
Several courts-martial have been held in Bombay
on officers and men of the Indian navy, and severe
sentences have been passed. One young officer, who
was publicly addressed in unbecoming and irregular
language by a junior lieutenant, replied, " That he
would be d—d if he should stand such ;" and asked
to be reported. He then threatened to send in
charges against the lieutenant, who, on overhearing
the threat, got first to the captain, and lodged his
complaint. The young mate was tried for insubordi-
nation, from his having resisted the opprobrious ex-
pressions, and has been dismissed the service. Other
trials of as odd a nature are going forward.
Her Majesty's ships Vernon and Cambrian were in
Bombay harbour ; the former, requiring repairs, was
about to be docked.
From Madras the news is scant. The Marquis of
Tweeddale was to remain there until the arrival of
Sir Henry Pottinger, who was expected from the
Cape about the middle of March. The old question
of the discussions with the natives respecting their re-
ligious feelings, &c., is still alive, and likely to excite
dissatisfaction unless Sir li. Pottinger finds means to
pacify it.
The district of Shornpore, which during the last
five years was under the management of Captain
Meadows Taylor, was slightly disturbed by an attempt
of the Ranee, or Queen-Mother, who sought to create
a rebellion amongst the peaceable inhabitants. The
attempts failed; the principal leaders of the Ranee's
party have been imprisoned, and she herself removed
from the district. Order and quiet prevail as before,
hanks to the prompt measures of Captain Meadows

Taylor.
The new Governor-General remained at Calcutta,
where he was employed in learning all th© details.
He has a wide field. His approval of the Small Cause
Court Act of Sir E. Perry has raised hopes of the
willingness of his Lord,hip to effect salutary reforms
in India. The departure of Lord Hardinge has been
the occasion of many compliments having been paid

to him.
India was tranquil and healthful. A slight com-
plaint, called the English cholera, prevailed in
Poonah and its neighbourhood. The weather at
Bombay in the beginning of February had been cold,
but towards the middle it was pleasant.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the Bombay Bi-flionthly Times of Feb. 14.)
Since the dispatch of the last mail the state of our
market has remained much the same as for the fortnight
before it had done. No improvement has made its ap-
pearance in prices, either for import or export goods,
owing to the great pressure on the money market; and
cash continues very scarce. Businesi, however, has
been done during the fortnight to some extent, but at
lower rates than during last month, for cotton goods and
cotton wool; while for metals full prices have been
obtained as formerly, and remain steady. Since the
dispatch of last mail the prices of Oriental and Com-
mercial Bank shares have fallen off 8 per cent. We
quote to-day the former at 3 per cent. premium, and the
latter at 9 per cent.. discount. We can hardly expect a
better demand for these or any other stocks in trade
until the money market becomes easier. The steamer
with the London mail of the 7th of January, which
arrived on the evening of the 9th instant, having brought
accounts of a better demand for cotton wool existing at
home, has produced some effect on our market for this
staple, and also on tonnage.
Cotton yarn and woollens continue to be neglected
and dull. Nothing has been done in them.
Metals Copper There is a steady demand for
sheathing, braziers, and raised bottoms, and they have
advanced I rupee per cwt. The following sales have
taken place during the fortnight, and the stock is nearly
exhausted. The price of tiles and American remains at
our former quotations : R 3. A.
500 cwt tile copper
300 ditto
£OO ditto
200 ditto
Bolt Copper—None in the market, and a good in.
quiry after it.
Swedish and English iron, nail rod (round and
square), sheets, hoops, nails, steel, lead, spelter, quick-
silver, tin plates, red and white lead, remain much the
same as at our last report.
Cochineal.—We have heard of no sales to report, and
the prices to-day may be quoted at Air, per lb.
Saffron—We have hoard of no sales since our last,
and the price is nominally 14r. to 16r. per lb.
Spirits—Holland gin is scarce in the market. The
supply in the importer's hands we have heard of is
very trifling, and the article will command a higher price
than brandy.
Marine Stores—We have heard of nothing doing
under this head; the prices may be considered as quoted.
Of tar, coal, and Stockholm there is none in market,
and the first small parcel that comes to hand will com-
mand a pretty high price.
Sugar—A sale of 6,000 piculs of No. 2 China sugar
has taken place, at 3r. Ba. 3p. per Surat maund.
EgroitTS.—Cotton Wool—Since the dispatch of last
mail the prices have somewhat fallen off, and business of
the fortnight was limited in amount, until the evening
of the 12th. Since then they have risen 2r. per candy.
We have heard of purchases of some parcels of this
staple being made within these three days—of Broach
and Jumbooter at from 70r. to 72r., and of Dhollera at
64r. to 74r.; and 300 candies Ooramwuttee at 70r. to
71r., by native shippers.
Sheep's Wool—We have heard of no purchase to
report, and the prices may be considered as quoted.
Opium—A slight alteration has taken place since our
last. We have heard of purchases having been made
during the fortnight of upwards of 100 chests, at from
870 r. to 880 r. per chest.
TONNAGE.
Freight to Great Britain has advanced since our last
to 41., at which rate engagements have been freely made;
and to China 15r. per candy.
EXCHANGES.
Exchanges on England, six months' sight, la. 9,1 d. ;
three months, Is. 9id. ; one month, ls. Bid., these are
the Banks' rates ; and for bills secured by shipping
documents we quote is. lod., at which rate aurae trans-
actions have been done. On China, 210 r. per 100 doll 3.
The rate on Calcutta has advanced since our last for
Company's draught—say eight, 4 per cent. premium :
thirty days, 99ir. ; and sixty days, 98r. for private bills.
THE CALCUTTA MARKET.
(From the Calcutta Englishman of Feb. 7.)
Our markets here, since the date of our lest report,
have been in rather an unsettled state. ilistrunt and
want of confidence have increased, and arc extending
among the native portion of the mercantile community.
We have, happily, no new casualties to report among
the European houses ; but several native firms have
suspended payment, and the firm referred to in our
Pries Current of the 21st of January, after a short and
