Cape. The amount advanced by the export warehouse
since Ist of May in goods under hypothecation is
7,89,645 rupees.
Our last report left freights at 41. to 41. ss. for sugar
to London. In the subsequent week an influx of ship-
ping caused a decline to 31. 15s. to 41 The week after
that they regained what they had lost and stood at
41. 55., and with trifling fluctuations they continued about
that figure until yesterday, when an increased demand
for tonnage for rice raised them to 41. 10s. to 4/. 12s. 6d
for that article, 41. 103. for sugar, and 41. ss. for saltpetre
Indigo—We have no transactions to report since
our last issue, but a continuance of the most propi-
tious weather for the unbounded progress of vegeta-
tion, with daily short mild showers and bright sunshine
to follow. This, for during the last two and this
month prevailing rainy season, almost unexampled
state of weather, seems by all accounts to have favoured
most of the indigo districts, and under as beneficial
influence the principal portion of the crop has been
brought to a rapid greatly-improved maturity. Manu-
facturing is by this time a nearly established fact in the
generality of leading concerns, and the latest returns based
upon this, with the probable proportionate results of the
smaller factories, including native cultivation, introduce
the increased estimate of the total out turn to about
1,20,000 to 1,25,000 maunds. If, with a continuance of
the present weather to the end of the month, which how-
ever, can hardly be expected, the yet outstanding portion
of the plant affords a similar yield to that obtained up
to the present, and the rumours about preparations
for
see
are ° N
proved inpractice, dcuttingabeingln progress in Lower
Bengal, the crop may be in-
creased by a further 10,000 maunds.

MODENA.

Letters from Modena, of the 15th, state that on
that day a revolutionary placard was posted
at a column of the portico of the public square,
calling upon the Modenese to rise against the
Austrians, and drive away the Duke The Mode-
nese soldiers and the Croatians in vain attempted
several times to tear off the paper ; the crowd
that kept constantly surrounding it during the
whole of the day prevented them with menaces ;
so that at last an orderly was sent to the com-
mandant of the fortress to inform him of the
fact. The account was probably exaggerated ;
for the commandant ordered a signal gun to ba
fired to call together his troops, who immediately
hastened to their arms. But the population, on see-
ing this, also dispersed with the cry of " To arms
to arms !" and re-assembled in a menacing attitude,
when Commandant Puffer appeared, explaining that
the gun had not been fired with a hostile intention,
and that his troops had received orders to retire.
Tranquillity was immediately restored.
