INDIA.
(From the Bombay Times.)
Stain Any. —The advancing season brings the
usual phenomena of increasing temperature and
its concomitants along with it, and movements,
singularly sluggish before, are not likely to be in-
creased in their energy or vivacity with the thermo-
meter in the sun at 150 deg., or in the shade at 90
deg. The most important items of our intelligence
continue to be commercial. Judgment has been given in
the Supreme Court at Calcutta in favour of the
validitymillion
o sterling,
issued to
ntioon Batheenxkte.nt of above a
Though not
only not recognised by the charter, but in contravention
of its provisions, the existence of post-bills was known
to the shareholders—their issue was acquiesced in by
their accepting a share of the profits realised on them,
and their validity was believed in by those who accepted
of them, and therefore in equity they are held valid. The
soundness of the views of the Court seem generally ac-
quiesced in, though at variance with the opinions previ-
ously given by counsel. This will maintain or extend
the responsibilities of the shareholders in proportion as it
protects the interests of the bill-owners. The prospects
of the bank seem to darken on every side ; the share-
holders hold back in stolid apathy, while the creditors are
beginning to push their claims with relentless determina-
tion. The debtors of the bank, and those who have lite-
rally made away with a couple of millions of its funds,
are treated with a gentleness and forbearance which
contrast singularly with the warmth with which the un-
happy shareholders arc urged on. Mr. Ayrton, attor-
ney, has been sent round by the Commercial Bank of
Bombay, to insist on early payment of the 40,0001. of
its funds appropriated to their own uses by the
Union Bank when sent to them for the purchase
of bills on England. The members of the Cal-
cutta Bar have unanimously refused to hold briefs
along with Sir Thomas Turton, one of those most
deeply implicated in the bank transactions. Sir
Thomas was, it may be remembered, secretary to Lord
Durham in Canada in 1838. He was a barrister of much
repute and high practice. Shortly after his return to
India he became Ecclesiastical Registrar of the Su-
preme Court, with a salary of 6,0001. a year.
While in this position he speculated largely with
the funds committed to his charge—the deficit amounting
to some 50,0004 On these coming to light he resigned
his appointment, with a view of resuming practice at
the bar, when his brethren refused to accept of briefs
along with him. Mr. Grant, son of the late Chief Jus-
tice Sir John Peter Grant, seems to be in not much
better favour, and for kindred reasons. The firm of
Carr, Tagore, and Co., of Calcutta, have become insol-
vent. The liabilities of the house amount to 254,6201.,
and the assets to 290,2951. Inability to meet present
demands upon them has been the cause of the
firm suspending business.—The error in the Act
(No. VI. of 1847) repealing the duties on all
goods shipped from port to port in the Company's
dominions, has been detected and amended, as we ex-
pected that it would. The Act is now in operation.
—The houses of Barlow and Co. and H. Adam and Co.,
at the Mauritius, have declared themselves insolvent.
Their liabilities respectively are 337,965 dollars and
2,378,293 dollars, and assets 107,800 dollars and
1,043,580 dollars.—lslam Khan, the Boogtie Chief, who
surrendered himself in September last after the brilliant
action of Lieut. Merewether, and who had been located
by Government on the rich lands near Larkanah,
has fled with his family to the hills. He is expected to
be joined by all the members of his tribe, and it is
apprehended that he may give us some trouble on the
frontier next cold season, unless intercepted by the in-
defatigable Sinde Horse.—The Sinde Gassetts, after a
short career of six months, has been discontinued—its pro-
prietor, Mr. Von Geyer, late clerk in the Commissariat,
having been placed in confinement on suspicion of pecu-
lation from Government. Some improper allusions
having ten months since got into our paper through
inadvertence in reference to this gentlemen, he was
allowed some months' leave from the late Governor
of Sinde that he might proceed to Bombay and
prosecute the Bombay Times. Every reparation that
could be desired having been voluntarily made
the instant it was discovered that injury had been
done, the idea of legal proceedings was dropped,
much to the disappointment of those who had encouraged
it.—Sinde throughout has become for the :present trans-
formed from one of the most sickly to ono of the most
salubrious of the provinces we possess ; it still re-
quires seventeen thousand men to guard it. The
Commissioner, Mr. Pringle, returned two days since to
the Presidency on domestic affairs—he and his family will
shortly return to Kurrachee.—The Dewan of Mooltan is
said to have agreed to surrender to the Lahore State the
lease by which he at present holds this very valuable
district.—Mr. Vans Agnew was to proceed thither, Capt.
Lumsden joining him from Peshawur. Her Majesty's
10th Regiment of Foot had moved into the new barracks
built for them at Anarkullee. The weather was warm,
but the health of the troops was excellent.—A public
meeting, numerous and respectable almost without
precedent, took place in the Town Hall on the sth for
the inauguration the Mechanics' Institute lately estab-
lished amongst us. The Chief Justice, Sir Erskine
Perry, presided, and delivered a very excellent address
on the occasion. The other speakers were Professor
Giraud, Mr. Crawford, barrister, Mr. Conybeare, civil
engineer, Lieut. Burke, Mint engineer, Dr. Buist, Dr.
Downes, Deputy Assay Master Mint, Archdeacon
Jefferies, and,the Rev. Drs. Stevenson and Wilson. Go-
vernment and the community generally, have done
everything in their power to promote the interests of
this promising and praiseworthy institution; the Chief
Justice has subscribed 1001. to its funds. Some discus-
sion has occurred on the subject of uniting the institu-
tion with the Native General Library, an admirable
institution, over whose interests the Chief Justice also
presides; to us it appears that the two are much more
likely to be useful separately than combined.
A subsciption for a testimonial to Lord Hardingo is
presently in progress throughout the northern division
of the Bombay army. Upwards of 1,000/. has in the
course of the past fortnight been subscribed in the
Bombay presidency to the fund for the relief of the
family of the late Captain Stokoe, murdered by the con-
victs under his charge while commanding the ship
General Wood.
The troops have bean directed to withdraw from the
hill country during the sickly season. His Highness
the Raja of Sattara died on the sth instant, in the 46th
year of his age; he had occupied the throne since the
deposition of his brother in 1839, and ruled wisely and
well. He leaves no heirs behind him, and the country
lapses to the British Government : its net revenues
amount to 150,0001. a year. It will for the present, it is
understood, be placed under s Commission.

those previously current. The market is less plentifully
supplied, whilst merchants display firmness. To-day
the quantity of Tea offered at public sale amountedito

the tendency of prices is to decline, as large parcels
are near at hand. Cognac best brands of the vintage of
1846 can be obtained at 4s 8d to 4s 10d, and 1847 at
3s 8d to 3s 10d per gallon. For British Corn Spirits

TALLow.-11olders of Russian are willing to make a
further concession in the value, and accept 45s 6d to
46s per cwt for fine P.Y. Candle on the spot; still the
trade continue to operate with much caution, on
account of the decreased consumption. The sales
made for forward delivery have been trilling, and
sellers are ready to accept 44s 6d to 45s per cwt. Home
made is not in much demand, and can be obtained at
46s to 46s 6d per cwt nett cash, there is also an increased
quantity on offer. For other sorts of Tallow prices keep
on the decline, and there is no decrease in the supply.

value of rough Fat is 2s 7id per stone. For auction
600 casks of Tallow are declared.

OlLS.—Prices are further depressed for all descrip-
tions of common Fish Oils, as the demand continues on
the decrease for all purposes, and there are further ar-
rivals. None has been submitted to public sale, but
privately the market is well supplied. Cod can be
obtained at 241 lOs to 25/, still the purchases made have
been trifling. Seal has been operated in with caution, and

brown at 221 to 221 10s. The demand for all sorts of

a desire to sell. Cocoa Nut is little wanted, and prices
continue to decline. Palm is dull of sale. Lard Oil
is offered at 46s to 48s, and Ground Nut Oil at 38s to
38s 6d, but few buyers are to be met with.
