DENMARK.

The Prussian Gazette publishes the following from
Copenhagen, dated Oct. 11 :—" We learn that the
Ministers de Moltke and Count de Reedtz resigned
after the sitting of the Council yesterday. The
Fadrel2ndret confirms this news without assigning
the cause of these Ministers' resignation. Whatever
it may be we are able to affirm that at six yester-
day evening they had not sent in their resignation,
and that, on the contrary, they hope to compel their
opponents to withdraw."
The cologne Gazette, under date of Berlin, 12th,
says :—" The wishes of the foreign powers have been
acceded Zo, not only as far as concerns the succession to
the throne of Denmark, but also relative to the Unitary
Monarchy, which it is contemplated to establish ;
the mode of execution, however, has not yet been
agreed upon. The pretensions of the Duke d'August-
tenbourg are set aside, although two lawyers had
been charged to give their opinion on the point. An
indemnity will, it is said, be given to him. As to
the affair of Schleswig-Holstein, the state of things
is as follows :—The principle of the preservation
of the Unitary Monarchy has been acceded to,
but it is wished on the other hand that the
Danish Democratic Constitution should be set
aside, as far as regards the Duchy of Schleswig, and
that it should have restored to it its old State Consti-
tution. Prussia and Austria have made this declara-
tion to the Danish Cabinet in two notes. Russia has
said as much, and, it is probable that the Ministerial
crisis, which has just taken place at Copenhagen, is
connected with,this circumstance."

INDIA AND CHINA MARKETS.

CALCUTTA, ►SEPT'. 6.
The steamer lladdington, bringing the London mail
of the 24th Juiy, arrived off town on the afternoon of
the Ist instant, while the Bombay express did not
come in till the 3d instant. _

The intelligence received by this opportunity is gene-
rally looked upon as exceedingly unfavourable in a
commercial point of view. The general and heavy re-
duction in prices, together with the flatness which cha-
racterised the home markets, has already taken full
effect here ; and a considerable falling off in our exports
will no doubt be the immediate result, or at any rate, a
corresponding fall in prices to meet the London rates.
Tho amount of bills drawn by. the East India Com-
pany on this Presidency from the 7th to the 23d July
was 62,3801. 17s. 9d. Exchange remaining as before
at 2, li, per rupee. Money considered to be plentiful.
Picas of raw cotton had again receded, and the Li-
verpool market was described as being in a dull, and
most uns,a•dsfactory state. In Manchester prices were
lower for both yarns and shirtings suited to this market.
The prevailing opinion seemed to be that cotton had
not yet seen its lowest point.
Latterly transaction* iu exports have fallen off con-
siderably; but still in the month of August last an
average amount of business obtained. The export of
SUVA' was not quite equal to that of July, but still it
wits large, amounting to 197.682 maunds, mostly at
prices standing too high for the London markets. Ship-
ments of saltpetre continue light. Jute also remains
much neglected of late. Corahs have been sent for-
ward rather more freely than for some months past;
shipments of August amounting to 29,404 pieces.
Very little has been done in any other kind of silk
piece goods for Great Britain. Of raw silk the ex-
port last month was 927 maunds. In tics to Great
Britain there has been next to nothing doing. There
has only been a small business doing in lac dye and not
very much in shell lac, all at moderato prices. Ship.
meat of sailower in August did not exceed 1,872
maunds. Hides continue to go forward to Great Britain
on a full scale, 145,942 pieces being the export of
August, and shipments are still in progress to some ex-
tent, though prices aro looking down. Linseed ship-
ments continue large, and prices ere consequently well
supported. Mustardsced has remained in moderate in-

Securities are lower in value, and our present quotations
are New Company's Fives 2.12 to 3.0.0 pm. Transfer
Five per Cent. 6.8 to 7.0.0 dis. Company's Four per
Cent. 11.4 to 11.8 dis. Bank of Bengal Shares are
quoted Co.'s rs. 2,250 pm. Bonded Warehouse Shares
at Co.'s rs. 200 each. In the Bazaar there still prevails
much anxiety and distrust, which feelings are increased
by very unfavourable accounts from Mirzspore, and most
of the chief commercial towns in the upper provinces.
Credit for the time is much shaken, and the negotiation
of native bills or boondies may be said to be suspended.
EXCUANGE.—Rates have risen considerably since our
last, and for this mail the following may be looked upon
as current rates:—First-class Credits, 2s. lid. to 2s. 10,
per rupee ; ditto Doeumeuts, 2s. lid. to 2s. lid. per.
rupee.
Oar import market has continued in a wretched state,
and is just at present, if possible, ina worse position than
it has yet been in. The imports of August were very heavy,
while there has been little or no demand for the up coun-
try. The Bazaar, owing to the failures noticed in our
last, has continued in a very confused and unsettled state,
causing much distrust and apprehension to be felt.
This position of affairs has lately become more evident
from the difficulties in which it is well known one of
the lergest Mawarie houses in the bazaar is involved.
At present it appears doubtful whether they will get
through or have to succumb to their difficulties; and it
seems mainly to depend upon assistance expected from
their head-quarters. One thing is certain, that if they
are compelled to give way nothing but a very bad state of
affairs in the bazaar can be looked for during the next
two or three months. Other and numerous failures will
no doubt follow; the annual Doorgeh Poojah holidays are
fact approaching; and everything conncetsd with im-
ports, their buyers, and markets, is at present of a most
gloomy nature. Prices of piece goods have come down
considerably of late; or rather business being brought to
something like a stand in consequence of the difficulty of

Freights have not undergone much change since our
last,
although, as there is a more plent:ral supply of
tonnage, with less need of it, rates have a downward
tendency. Present quotations are to London.—Sugar,
3/. 10a.; Saltpetre, 3a 55.; Rice nominal; oilseeds, 4/. 57
to 4/. 7e. 61; Hides, 3/ 152. to 4 ; Jute, 31. 17s. eid.
INDIGO.—AS usual at this season of the year, there
have been no transactions of late in this export. The
prospects of the coming crop have, however, much im-
proved during the last few days, owing to a continuance
of the most favourable weather almost ever known; and
we think that we may safely state that the outturn will
bs fully 1,07,000 to 1,10,000 =nada, or it may slightly
exceed this amount should the present weather cont'nue.
