veying some few small items of intelligence—all, in reality,
that there appear to have been to convey—from all parts of
Sinde. We mentioned in our last that the Napier steamer,
with the Governor on board, had been fired on at Mithen-
kote, and that his Excellency had disembarked at Ooch and
proceeded for Bhawulpore by land. Here he arrived on
the morning of the 20th, and after receiving a visit of cere-
mony from the Raja resumed his journey, under escort of the
Cathel Corps, on the 22d. The troops :lust referred to had
given an extraordinary illustration of the extreme fatigue
and endurance of which they are capable, and the' celerity
with which they can get over the ground. They had joined
the Sinde Horse, another body of very "fast men," at
btreahiinndanadt
Ahmedpore, and were at Bhawulpore on the 16th. During

Bignell, Assistant-Adjutant-General ; Captain Tristall, As-

gade Major at Sukkur; Captain Andrews, 7th, Treasurer
and Postmaster, Sukkur; Lieutenant Clair, Commissariat
Agent to the field force; and Lieutenant Lancaster, Sub-
assistant Commissary at Sukkur.) The 6th Cavalry and
troop of Horse Artillery arrived at Bhawulpore on the 24th
of February—the ''rest were moving up easily by detach-
ments; the arrival of the last of the troops under General
Hunter was looked for before the end of March. The
fidelity of the Bhawul Khan may be depended on so
long as his gratitude endures for the share of the Sinde
plunder we bestowed upon him. His army is half disci-
plined; not large, but tolerably efficient: it has been drilled
for him by a Mr. 51‘Pherson and Mr. Howell, the English-
man engaged against us at Meeanee. General Simpson
accompanied by Major Gwen. and Captain Browne, were
on their way to Kurrachee.. It is reported that the Affghans
are making preparations to oeize upon Peshawur, taking
advantage of the discomfiture of the Seikhs. Another
body of them, 2,000 or 3,000, are said to have advanced
into the valley of Woostung. The treatment experienced
from us by the Khan of Khelat„ and the position in which
we had placed him in relation to his' subjects and neighbours,
had deprived him of all influence amongst his people. TI .e

NIZAM'S DOMINIONS.
The overwhelming interest of the events upon the Sutlej
have for many months past so engrossed pubic attention,
that occurrences, which on ordinary occasions would have
been carefully noted, have been overlooked. Am. wigst these
the affairs ef 'the State of Hyderabad, Deccan, may be enu-
merated. We take the following from the Madras spectator
of the 26th ultimo :—" Anarchy and bloodshed appear to be
more than ever rife in the dominions of the powerless 1\ rizam,
as will be gathered from the following particulars of w.iiat is
there going on. Upon the 9th of this month, Suffer ( says
the translation of a Persian paper with which we have b yen
favoured), one of the sons of Surfuraz Jung, met his brother
on the high road, and having had a quarrel with him, he sen't
after him two horsemen, by whom he was cut down. On'.
the 13th again, a sepoy of the line, under the command of
Ghoree Ram, was killed by an Arab follower of Abdoolla Bin
Ali. The cause of the quarrel is not mentioned ; we, how-
ever, hear that all the commandants of the line intend to go
in a body to the Nizain, for the purpose of demanding re-
dress, and should they fail of obtaining it, they will at-
tack the Arabs in revenge. (This purpose has since, we
believe, evaporated). The Government will do nothing for
them, and there is not unity enough for any independent
course among the commandants. Moostaeed Gar Jung (the
same person who fought his brother across the street) bad a
battle with a party of Arabs on the 13th or 14th, when two of
his horsemen were killed and four Arabs wounded. These
Arabs did not belong to any of the great military chieftains,
which is, perhaps, the reason of Moostaeed Gar Jung being
suffered to find security from further violence. A son of Rao
Rumba, one Sufdur Ood, Dowla, by a Mussulnianee, com-
plained to the Nizam that his legitimate half-brother, Urjoon
Buhadoar, the head of the family, would not sufficiently pro-
vide 'for his maintenance. His Highness, however, would
take no cognisance of the matter, as it was a family affair.
Sufdur Ood Dowla accordingly raised troops, and laid waste
and seized upon—but not without bloodshed—the family of
Jaghires. It was then Urjoon Buhadoor's turn to complain,
and on his doing so the Nizam gave sentence that he should
accede to Sufdur Ood Dowla's demand, as the means of
obtaining a restitution of the Jaghires. A portion
of a body of horsemen called the Rissalai Khas,
consisting of small parties under different commanders, were
largely in arrears of pay, and the Government, not having
the means of adjusting their demands, referred them to
Husseencod Deen Khan, the chief of the Robillas,
who undertook, upon receiving assignments on the
country to supply the immediate wants of their number.
Money was accordingly lent to them by him, not however
upon any regulated terms, but according to his own pleasure,
and in some instances he furnished none at all. Two of these
latter (brothers) who received nothing from him, were re-
duced to the extremest destitution; for (as it was subse-
quently found) they could neither provide themselves with
oil by the light of which to dress their wounds, nor yet ob-
tain rags to bind them up. They applied, therefore, earnestly
for pecuniary assistance to Nusseer Ood Deen Khan, whom
they found at the house of the Minister Raja Ram Bux,
but though urged on the ground of his undertaking, he
peremptorily refused to comply. One of the brothers, then
seized him by the waistband, and was strack for so doing;
he however returned the blow, and Nusseer Ood Deen Khan's
turban fell or was struck off in the scuffle. On this swords
were drawn, and Nusseer Ood Deen Khan received five
wounds, but none among them dangerous, from his assailant.
Of the two brothers one was slightly and the other mortally
wounded. What a deplorable state of things is this ! Surely
the Nizam might take these lamentable events as lessons,
and profit by them to his own political salvation and that of
his State ! It is, however, feared that his Highness will
never heed nor understand until he finds the naked swords
now thinking blood among his miserable people directed ac-
tually towards himself. At that juncture, like, Sardana-
palms, he may, perhaps, awake too late."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BOMBAY.
(From the Chamber of Commerce Overland Price Current.)
BOMBAY, MARCH 14.—The transactions in our import
market since the departure of the last mail have been to a
very limited extent, and business during the past week has
been almost wholly at a stand-still, owing to the Hooly holi-
days, which only terminate this day. Under these circum-
stances, there is but little change io notice in the aspect of
mercantile affairs. The scarcity of money, which has so long
affected commercial operations, still presses upon them with
some severity, but it is hoped that in the general improve-
ment which may be expected to result from the conclusion of
the recent hostilities, and the renewal of amicable relations
with the Seikhs, the present difficulty of procuring monetary
accommodation will be wholly removed.
Metals.—The market for these has evinced no great
degree of activity. There have been but few transactions
in copper, and prices remain without noticeable alteration.
The only sales reported to us for publication are of about
220 cwt. tile, at rs. 48j per cwt. ; we believe, however, there
have been some transactions in this article at rs. 48. In
iron, British bar continues in some request, and we are ap-
prised of sales of 230 tons at rs. 29, and 30 tons at rs. 30
per candy. Swedish bar has slightly improved, and some
500 candies are said to be disposed of at our quotation. Nail,
rod, and hoop are without change in value, but sheet has
somewhat advanced, and nails appear to have a slightly
downward tendency. Steel, in tubs, has improved, while in
faggots, it remains unchanged. We quote spelter lower, a
sale of fifty tons, large plates, having been made at rs. 13
per cwt. In lead, quicksilver, and tin plates, we hear of no
transactions, and for all three we retain our previous quota-
tions.

Cotton Manufactures.—The sales of the fortnight have
been confined principally to stout grey domestics, and to
the better qualities of grey and bleached shirtings and
jaconets and grey madapollams ; the commoner kinds of
these fabrics continuing without inquiry, and only saleable
at extremely low rates. While, however, grey domestics and
bleached shirtings have been readily taken, in some in-
stances at an advanced price, the demand for grey shirtings,
and for jaconets both grey and bleached, has been,very lan-
guid, and sales have been effected with difficulty. Muslins
and cambrics continue depressed in value, and transactions
in them have been on a very limited scale. Turkey red
dyed good are aaleable at tbrmer quotations, but prints of all
kinds are still neglected, and can only be disposed of at the
most unsatisfactory rates.

Yarns—The demand has been slight, but owing to the
firmness of holders, no decline has taken place in prices. In
dyed yarns we hear of no sales, but it will be observed that
orange has still further declined in nominal value.
Woollens—There is no change to record in the market
for these goods; prices still continue depressed, but a better
demand may be looked for after the rains. The only sale
communicated is one of 4,593 yards common cloth, at
rs. 1-7 - 0 per yard.

EASTERN PRODUCE.
Cotton—There has been a slight decline in the prices of
this staple, and a fair amount of business has been done.
Wool—Few transactions have taken place in this article,
and prices are unchanged. The stock at market is of an in-
different quality.
In other articles of Eastern produce, Ghatee hemp has de-
clined 2 rs. per candy, indigo is p rs. per maund, and ginger
2 rs. per candy dearer, and Cassia and Malabar pepper have
slightly given way. Persian and Bengal silk, and the lower
qualities of Canton, have also somewhat declined. Other
articles are without change._

FREIGHTS.
There has been little variation in the rate of freight to
Great Britain, engagements having taken place since our
last at 31.55. and 3/. 7s. 6d., both to London and Liverpool.
There has been no vessel on the berth for the Clyde. The
rate of freight to China ,may be quoted at rs. 16 to 17 per
candy for cotton.
