The unforturate occurronces referred to in the bczsar
havo had the effect o•i Fending up exchanges by checking
coliectioas and suspending the delivery of goods. It was
expected that the large•loss of bills by the Pacha (about
five hies) and the reserve aaBrved by exporters of
country produce would have improved rates; but these
intim:nets have been more than counteracted by the
disturbed state, of the import market, and rates have
crept up to 2-1 to 2i, with few buyers, and those few

Freights have receded 5-0 to 7-6 per ton, clo.sing again

Our prospects respecting the orange crop this

The talked of abolition of quarantine upon arrivals
from ports in the Levant, when furnished with clean
bills of health, will greatly benefit the island.
The steam paper-mills of Messrs. Tonna were set

The Hon. H. Lushington, chief secretary to Go-

Our money market continues unaltered in bank rates,
but the failures among the piece goods (leviers have
caused much uneasiness and some pressure in the bazaar.
Government securities have slightly declined, and in
shares hardly any business has Leen transacted.
Indigo, since last mail, has remained without any
traesactiou, and the reports from the manufacturing dis-
tricts contieued as varied as ever—in some instances less
satieiactory than before; a leading and not unimportant
feature in that directive being tee excessive heavy fall
of ruin repo! ted from Agra, which has already done
much injury to the young plant, thereby materially
altering previous prospects of the out-tarn in the Dente
and leaving little room for the but lately entertained
hope that its production would be considerably in excess
of that of the previous season. Under these circum-
ataces we incline to the opinion that a more than rea-
sonably to be expected combination of future most fa-
vourable influences will be required to produce a total
crop of 100,000 ends.
BOMBAY MARKETS.
FEO3I THE 26TH OF JULY TO THE 30TH OF AUGUST
INCLUSIVE.
(From the Bombay Times.)
The money market continues most plentifully sup-
plied—in fact cash has become quite a drug, and since
we lust wrote the banks have lowered their rates another
1 per cent. Government securities are somewhat lower,
owing to speculators having been in the market as sellers.
The following may be called current rates.—Transfer
stock, 1153 nominal five per cent. Siam% paper, 107 ie
four per cent. Sicca paper, 96; four per cent. Company's
paper, 91 ; five per cent. Company's paper, 104 to
10471. Bank shares have been in some demand, and the
rates of the day are bank of Bombay, 23 per cent. pre-
mium ; Oriental Bank, 7 per cert. discount ; Commer-
cial Bank, 11 per cent. discount ; Agra Bank, par. •
Since our last report the London mails of the 7th and
24th ult. reached Bombay respectively on the let and
23d inst ; and the following vessels from the west have
reached us, viz : —from London, the theeTiarba,faclgbaiurarßdußreau-
jasthan ; from Liverpool, Dorcas,
of Renfrew, Templar, Nell, and R
John Bull ; and from
the Clyde, Ontario, and Alierton.
In imports a large business has been done, supplies
having arrived in quantity and been offsred freely. On
tae other hand transactions in exports have been limited;
in cotton, however, our chief staple, more has been
doing latterly, shippers to China having Leen induced
to come forward in consequence of a fail in prices.
Money is abundant, and ratty be had at alow rate on ap-
proved security.
Cotton Piece Goode—The business done is these has
been large and pretty general. A decline in price has
beea occasioned in almost all descriptions by the
liberal way in which the gcceis have been of-
fered. Prices have for the last few days been most
fluctuating, the large arrivals and anxiety to rea-
lize displayed on she part of imparters having alarmed
the dealers, there being no outlet for goods yet,
and tho bazaar quite gorged, so that at present the
market is dull antidepressed in consequence of the dis-
inclination shown to continue purchasing. As the mon-
soon has been most favourable throughout the whole of
Western India, large quantities of goods will doubtless
be consumed, more especially at the low prices which are
now current; we, therefore, have some encouragement to
look forward to renewed demand, but the large supply
now in the market forbids us to expect any improvement
in price.
Grey shirtings-40 and 45 inch of all qualities we
quote something lower than in our last. The sales of all
kinds reported are 35,550 pieces.
Madapollams have likeelse declined in price 1 to 2
annas per piece, and have been taken largely, but are now
unasked for. Sales, 58,000 pieces.
Jacconets have also been disposed of to the extent of
39,000 pieces, and have dteined in price.
T cloths, up to 61b., are in great quantity, and have
fallen 2 wanes a piece, but heavier qualities are quoted
as in our last.
Longcloths and domestics—The season not yet having
opened, these goods have been very hula asked for; fur
the longcioths there has been some little inquiry at a de-
cline of 2 annas per piece.
Bleached Goods—Shirtings and madapollams are
hardly asked for, nor are jacoonets, except the medium
qualities which are in request. Twill has not yet met
with any demand. Satin spots are inquired after, as
are also jucconet checks. Sales quoted are 35,000
pieces of madapollams, 10,000 pieces of jacconets, 2,500
pieces t f twills, and 8,600 pieces of satin sputa.
Fancy Goods—Some detcriptiues are inquired after,
such as flue bld. mulls, low lappets, fancy border dhoties,
and lappet scarf.; while Sails lappets and book 'flushes
are not in request.
Plain twill cloths and dyed turkey red are still dull
without change in price; mulls, however, meet with some
inquiry.
Cotton Yarn—Prices have undergone little change.
Both mule end water have met with large sales. Tue
only dcclin-e we observe in mule is in 303, 60s, and 803,
while 40s, 90t, and 100 have risen in price. Water ad •

induced a number of native purchasers to come forward
for the China market, whither a considerable quantity is
now being sent in addition on importers' account. There
appears to be nothing whatever doing for England—the
purchases reported are all for Chines. Fresh supplies from
the north are now coming in several boats have arrived

when it was saluted by the Britannia, 120, bearing
the flag of Rear-Admiral Superintendent Prescott,
C. 8., second in command, with 17 guns, which the
Victory returned with 11. Sir Thomas's flag was
also saluted by the Lieutenant-Governor from the
Platform Battery, with 17, which was acknowledged
by a similar number. The ships and vessels on the
station at the same time changed their pennants and
ensigns from red (the squadron to which the late
Commander-in-Chief belonged) to blue, and Sir
Thomas Briggs's command-in-chief here commenced
therefrom.
The Sutlej Indiaman arrived at Spithead to-day
from the Thames.
WooLwlca, OCT. I.—The Anna Maria female con-
vict ship, in charge of Surgeon-Superintendent M'Crea,
at present lying off the Royal Arsenal, has taken on
board about 200 female convicts, several of whom
have their children with them, for conveyance to
Hobart Town. The majority of the convicts are
of Irish extraction, and mostly from Liverpool.
There are two, however, cn board, each under
senttcca of fourteen years' transportation, in conse-
quence of articles being found in their posses-
sion which they had received from the male associates
of the Uckfield gang. A boy, the offspring of one of
these women, was put on board yesterday to cccom-
pany his mother to Hobart Town. The child was
born in gaol, and is now upwards of two years of
age, and has been well taken care of in ono of the
workhouses in East Kent since April last.
The Lady Franklin and Sophia, recently paid off
at this port by Captain Penny, on his return from

eTt ehde,
manoddieinsl tfceoanrldceutcililaetto adL
calculated fully to sustain the high reputation
of the artist as one of the first sculptors cf the age. The
position selected is that familiar to the public, when Sir
Robert is supposed to be addressing the House of Commons,
and exhibits a dignified simplicity combined with an easy
grace and elegance, for which the original was peculiarly
distinguished. As a work of art, it perhaps surpasses any
previous production front the studio of the same sculptor.
Nothwithstanding its large dimensions, it is in every respect
lice-like and true to nature. Bat the artist has had to
labour under cne disadvantage; and that is by the necessity
of an adherence to modern costume. which renders stiffness
to some extent unavoidable. The model is to ba cast in
bronze, and when elevated on a suitable pedestal will have
a fine and imposing effect. Mr. Behnes is also to be en-
trusted with the important task of executing the statue Of
Sir Robert intended to be erected in the City.
