body dreadfully mangled. A third man in another
house who came to his door and called out " Who's
there ?" received a slash which took away a part of
his cheek. The ruffians came with blazing torches,
and said to each other on reaching the house,
" Look well before you cut ;" and when the two
victims were dead remarked " Our work is now
(lone, let us be off, and let the bodies lie there till
they stink." They did not carry away the value
of a pin, which shows plunder was not their object.
The bodies were publicly buried the next day,
and one of the largest processions that has ever
been seen in Rangoon, followed them to the grave.
Thousands upon thousands of both sexes collected
on the sad occasion.

At the time this persons appearance in Rangoon
was noticed by the papers, it Was also remarked
that had be turned up sooner, being the heir ap•
parent to the throne, our government might have
made something of him. These papers found their
way to the capital, and it is known created a good
deal of excitement among those in power there,
and there can be little buestion that this foul deed
was concocted there, but from what is now known
of the present King we may be sure he has been in
utter ignorance of any such murderous intention.
The Bengal Ilurkaric, of July 17, says : "In
British Burmah a rumour was abroad of a
threatened attack upon a small British post ; but
this, even if correct, is to be regarded more as a
banditti affair than a political movement."

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BOMBAY, JULY 28.
The overland mail of the 26th June was received in
Bombay, per Peninsular and Oriental steamer Cadiz,
on the 20t,h July. Our money market during the fort-
night has been easy, and no change has taken plac3 in
Bank rates of interest since our last report.
Fur a time the rains held off, but within the last few
days have resumed, and we have before us the promise
of a very fair monsoon ; accounts from the interior are
also most favourable.

IMPO2T MARKET,—A. fair amount of business has
been transacted. There is good inquiry for grey shirt-
ings, for 40in. up to 80b. ; those above are in slight re-
quest ; of 45in. there is a fair inquiry for those of
middling quality, the demand for higher being moderate.
For all descriptions of grey Madapollams there is a mo-
derate inquiry. In grey jaconets we have no change to
note. Grey T cloths of less than 61b. have declined, for
71b. there is inquiry. Grey longcloths of all descriptions
are little sought after, and can only be put off with diffi-
culty. Grey domestics are in inquiry. There is a fair in-
quiry for low and middling bleached shirtings; the higher
qua Ries, however, are in slight request.
There is a fair inquiry both for mule and water cotton
yarns, without, however, any material change in prices,
with the exception of water No. 20, which has advanced.
Freights.—Tonnage is abundant, and freights have
declined. The rates to London and Liverpool are now
quoted at 2/.
Exchange has ruled much the same as last mail, viz. :
—2s. 1:d. for Bank, and 2s. lid. to 5-16 d. for local
credits. We quote as the rate of the day for documents,
2s. la I. to 2s. 16d. Oa China, 60 days' sight, 227 per
100 dole. Calcutta court-bill, 60 days' sight,
.992 rs.
Madras, 30 days' sight, 994 re.

CALCUTTA, JULY 17.
Our Money Market continues in the same state as re-
ported for last mail. Accommodations are obtainable
in the bazaar on very easy terms—about 1 to 1i per
cent. below the bank rates. The Bank of Bengal, as
noticed in our last, reduced its rates on 3d inst. 2 per
cent. all round. There has been no alteration since.
Exchange—Little has been doing since the last mail,
and rates have an upward tendency. The present quo-
tations are : First-class credits at six months' sight, 2s.
14d. to 2s. Ikl. ; document bills, 2s. Id. to 2.. lid. ;
Bank post bide, 2s. I,ld.
