some time past, though not much more interesting in
the complexion of intelligence it contains. The Bom-
bay express arrived in town on Sunday, the sth, at ten
A.M. The improved commercial prospects, slight as the
amelioration has been, will exert corresponding in-
fluence here, but the intervention of holidays prevents
the degree being observed before the mail quits. To
afford the mercantile community the benefit derivable
from the steamer's possible delay in the river, an
express packet will be dispatched after her on the
9th.

The Money market continues in much the same
state as we wrote last : the terms on which loans are
transacted are a shade more favourable, but the se
curity taken continues to be of the most tangible
character, and of a value leaving large margin for
errors of appraisem?nt. In exports there has been
a fair demand for staples, to be sent home as remit-
tances instead of speculations—especially saltpetre
Sugar and indigo are less inquired after now, rice in
much the same state, and silk too highly priced to
permit extensive operation. The import market is
improving ; cotton piece goods finding freer vent, and
twist rising in demand. Freights are looking up.
There are reports of some speculations in tonnage
with an eye to a China war, and a belief that Govern-
ment would be obl-ged to engage transports.
