A MAN MURDERED By lIIsSISTER.—A painful
sensation has prevailed in the neighbourhood of Honitoa
during the past few days by the circulation of a report
that a man named James Harris had been murdered by
his own sister, a married woman, named Mary Hooper,
in the public road. Mr. Aberdein, the coroner, upon
being informed of what had occurred, issued his warrant
for holding an inquest upon the body. Yesterday was
the day appointed for the inquiry, when it was proved
in evidence that the deceased and his sister, on Satur-
day night last, went to Honiton market with a cartload
of hay to sell. This, they effected, and then went to a
public-house, where they partook of some refreshment,
and deceased became inebriated. Instead of taking the
cart home themselves, they sent it home by another
person, the deceased itnsgining that the walk would en-
able him to get the better of the drink he had taken.
The moment after he commenced walking, however,
be
stumbled and fell down in the road. His sister came to
him and persuaded him to get up, but ho was unable to
do so. She then flew into a violent passion,
struck him
several times with her fists without being able to rouse
him, when at length she kicked him in a most brutal
manner over the head and face. Her shoes having
heavy nails in them, the front teeth were knocked out,
and the head terribly mangled; so much so, that death
ensued. A neighbouring farmer found the unfortunate
man deluged with blood, and scarcely able to articulate.
He had him placed in one of his carts and he conveyed
him to his home at Stoakland, but he expired before he
arrived there. The evidence being conclusive against
Mary Ilooper, she was committed on the Coroner's
warrant to the Devon county gaol on the capital charge.
John C. Pounding, Esq., who is the proprietor of
considerable property, in this county, has purchased a
large quantity of clothing, which be has distributed
amongst the poor on his estate, and he has in contempla-
tion to supply them with flax, and other seeds, at prime
cost. Mr. Pounding will, we understand, attain his
majority in a few months, and promises to be an excel-
lent landlord, and a capital addition to our resident Irish
gentry.—lilonuesos MaAdarfl.

OVER .JAND MAIL

INDIA AND liti Pf.

(From the Times.)

We have received by express from Marseilles our
letters from India in anticipation of the Overland
Mail of the Ist of February. The dates so received
are from Calcutta to the 21st of January, Madras
to the 20th of January, and Bombay to the Ist of
February.
The period over which our advices from India
extend had been almost barren of incident, at the
same time that there had been an interregnum in
political affairs, occasioned by the entrance into office
of the new, and the retirement of the late, Governor-
General.

Lord Hardinge left Calcutta on the 18th of
January. Subscriptions for a statue to be erected
at Calcutta in Lis honour had reached the sum of
2,0001. within a few days from their commence-
ment, at a time of unexampled pressure in money
matters.

A notification had been published in the several
presidencies, under instructions from the India
house, announcing that the sum of 60,000/. was to
be raised in L►dia by bills on the hypothecation of
goods for the service of the East India Company. The
advance on goods w ill be to the extent of three. fifths
of the value. In the similar operations of 1842 the
advances amounted to three•fourths of the value. The
rate of exchange is fixed at ls. 100. per Company's
rupee—an increase of 6 per cent. on the former ex-
change. In other respects the conditions of transac-
tion are the same.

With respect to affairs in Goomsoor we learn
that a field force had marched from Berampore upon
the territory of the Ungool Raja, with the intention of
demolishing the forts in that district. The Ungool
Raja having refused to appear before the British
Commissioner at Cuttack, had been proclaimed a
rebel to the state. This step was regarded as the
commencement of a Goomsoor campaign.
From Lahore there is not any news of moment.
The Delhi Gazette, however, states that on the oc-
casion of an inventory being taken of the treasury of
gifts belonging to the late Runjeet Singh, upwards
of two lace and a half of rupees, unknown before,
were found. The Friend of India adds that the sum
in question proved most opportune for the Lahore
Treasury.

It was affirmed that Dost Mahomed at Caubul had
for some time been hoarding portable treasure, and it
was suspected—at least asserted by native writers—
had secret intentions of proceeding from Jellalabad to
Peshawur, and placing himself under the protection
of our authorities ; but it was added that obstacles
had arisen to prevent the Amoer's contemplated visit
to Jellalabad, the ulterior design having been sur-
mised and frustrated by Ms turbulent son, Haider
Khan.

Our correspondent at Bombay, writing upon the
effect of the home failures at that place, says—" The
effect here has been comparatively slight. I told you
as much in anticipation some time ago. A third
house has deferred payment within these few days,
but it has taken no one by surprise. The two con-
cerns which have failed were second-rate, and lately
established. hitherto much of the system of busi-
ness here has been as unsound as elsewhere in India.
False credit has been kept up through Parsee brokers,
as in Calcutta it was done by forced transactions in
produce. Excepting two bead firms, every Bombay
house employs a broker, who, for 2 per cent. on the
sale, guarantees payment; while, of course, this
broker has again his own system for guaranteeing
himself, by securities and payments from the buyer,
amounting to from 2 per cent. to 5 per cent. more
This system may have its advantages with a sound
house, as it secures from bad debts ; but if, as
was the case with the houses that have gone, forced
shipments must be made and the capital borrowed
from the broker at nine per cent. (the established rate
in such instances), the result cannot but be ultimately
ruinous alike to the speculator and to the general
market. As regards Bombay, the effect of the late
crisis must prove beneficial. Transactions are more
likely now to be of a bond fide character, based on
the demand ; and the market will then offer fair re-
muneration. Probably, however, we are not yet at
the end of the chapter of accidents. yearly 150,000
bales of cotton have gone home this season, at an
average of it. the hale, and you beat know what they
are now worth. You may presume that the new
offers of hypothecation are not looked upon very
favourably by cautious houses here, yet there is this
to be said in favour of present terms—that the differ-
ence between the present and former advances (three-
fifths of the value in place of three-fourths, or a
diminution of fifteen per cent.) will prevent reckless
transactions, since the speculator with only sixty
per cent. advance must have a good share in the
purchase."
The departure of the Governor of Bombay on his
visit of inspection to Sinde had been fixed for the Bth
of February. His Excellency would proceed to the
mouth of the Indus in the Hon. Company's steamer
Semiramis, and thence embarking is a smaller
steamer proceed up the river to Hyderabad.
Our correspondent at Calcutta writes as follows.
His letter is dated January 24 :
" Since I last wrote to you Lord Hardinge has
departed, receiving of course the usual compliments,
and leaving behind him a successor whose appearance
and demeanour encourage us to expect an energetic
and open-eyed Administration. The subsidized states
will probably require to be brought more immediately
under British influence and control, but with this
exception Lord Dalhousie's labours will probably be
limited to our present possessions, which of them-
selves present a boundless range of useful action for
the ablest statesman. The revision of the law, the
promulgation of European knowledge in the native
languages, the infusion of a greater degree of zeal
into the services, and, as a means of attaining all
these good ends, the reconstruction of the Supreme
Government, in which the vast realms subject to
Madras and Bombay are wholly unrepresented,—all ,
these are subjects which press upon the Indian Go-
verment.
" But in the mean time the melancholy aspect of
commercial and pecuniary affairs has produced much
dejection and distrust. The case of the Union Bank
turns out to be much worse than ever was surmised
by those who were most unfriendly to its manage-
ment. The bank has been closed, and it only remains
for the shareholders to get in the assets, and by a
vigorous effort to meet the demands which are press-
ing upon them. The bank, as a bank, is insolvent.
The committee of shareholders report the liabilities to
amount to 68,82,610 r., and the assets to 61,07,990 r.
They recommend an immediate call of 200 rupees per
share upon the present registered proprietors, and an
application for a loan, i.e., a call of ,20,000 rupees
upon all who are or were proprietors when the exist-
ing liabilities were incurred, without reference to the
number of shares held by each, to be repaid after the
discharge of the liabilities. The concern to be wound
up under a committee who are to act in concert with
the creditors, and to compel contributions by
prevailing upon the creditors to proceed against those
who refuse to pay the call. The debts of the Bank to
be paid by monthly instalments, beginning in March
and extending over the space of twelve months. The
committee recommend an immediate investigation of
the causes of the bank's insolvency, being of opinion
that if delinquencies have been committed they ought
to be fully exposed, and the principal :parties con-
cerned in them punished, if any instance sufficiently
flagrant can be found to justify an appeal to the law.
" This report has, with slight modification, been
adopted by the shareholders, but it is a matter of
doubt whether the most willing creditors—especially
those who have the interests of others to protect--can
afford to wait a whole year for the liquidation of
their claims. There can, however, be no question
that the scheme is an honest and manly effort to re-
pair the mischief that has been done ; but the creditors
are exasperated by statements which are universally
believed. The truth of all these matters will now
have to be very severely tested. In the meantime,
public opinion is most unfavourable to the late ma-
nagement of the bank; and the shareholders are in
despair, as any one of them could be ruined by any
creditor who chose to take out judgment against him
on a claim against the bank. Much amazement is felt
at the lateness of the Bombay express, of which no
tidings have reached us. Two public meetings of
creditors have taken place.
" The liabilities of Lackerstein, Brothers, and Co.,
are stated at 15,56,000 rupees odd, and the assets
10,13,000 rupees. The liabilities of John Wienholt
and Co., 3,80,000 rupees; assets, 3,84,000 rupees.
The business of both firms to be wound up under
inspection."
The following casualties by death in the armies of
India have been reported since the departure of the
mail of the 16th of January :

Her Majesty's Troops—Lieutenant W. H. lielson;

Ceylon Rifle Regiment, at Victoria, Hong-Kong, on
the 19th December.

Beng:,l—Captain Peregrine Powell Turner, fil -I
Native It,failtry, at Saharunpore, on 10th January.
Madras—Lieutenant C. B. Bartley, 17th Native
Infantry, at Secunderabad, on the 12th January.
Indian Navy—Captain John Hindes, late of the
Hon. Company's Marine Department, at Negapatam,
on the 4th January.
Our advices from Alexandria, which are to the
21st ult., announce that his Highness Mehemet Ali,
who came down to Alexandria from Cairo on the
12th ult., left for Malta in the French steamer Alex-
andre on the 14th, his medical advisers having deter-
mined upon trying whether a sea trip would not be
of benefit to him, as the change from Cairo to this
place had brought on a slight improvement in his
health. A French steamer was placed at the disposal
of Mehemet Ali by the French Consul, M. A. Barrot,
ho induced his Highness to take his passage in her
on acount of superior accommodation and her rea-
diness to proceed to Fea at once. As the Pacha was
gcing out all the shipping in the harbour dressed,
manned yards, and fired a salute, the English steam-
frigate Sidon, waiting here the arrival of Lord Har-
dinge, being conspicuous by the hearty cheers of the
crew as the Alexandre passed by. Mehemet Ali
was very unwilling to go to Malta and wished to
proceed to Candia instead, so that the French Consul
had some difficulty in persuading him to accede to his
wishes, which his Highness did only as they were
leaving the port.
During Mehemet's Ali's absence Said Pacha is to
be Governor of Alexandria, and Abbas Pacha is to be
at the head of the Government at Cairo.

THE BOMBAY MARKET.
(From the Bombay Timer.)
BOMBAY, JAN. 31.—Very little alteration has taken
plated in the state of trade, we regret to say, since the
dispatch of last mail. Money still continues scarce, and
the state of the market much the same as formerly.
The steamer with the London mail of the 24th of De-
cember arrived on the afternoon of the 28th instant ;
fortunately the intelligence brought produced a favour-
able effect on most descriptions of our stock market.
Oriental Bank Shares rose from 7 to 11 per cent. pre-
mium, Commercial Bank from 9 to 2 discount. The
sale of Government bills on Calcutta, to the extent of
five lace of rupees, which took place yesterday, averaged
98rs. 6a. 11p. per 10Ors. in Calcutta, 30 days sight.
Cotton piece goods, cotton yarn, and woollens, con-
tinue as last reported.
Metals are a shade lower than at date of last report.
Cochineal—A few hundred pounds of cochineal: have
made their appearance in the market, and we have heard
have been sold at 4ir. per lb.
Spirits and Beer—No alteration in these prices since
our last.
