COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Bombay Standard.)
BOMBAY, AUGUST 4.
GENERAL REMARKS : The weather continues season-
able, with copious falls of rain both at the Presidency and
in the interior ; in fact, there have been scarcely any or no
complaints of its want anywhere. Peace has been estab•
lt ih hs e d
Presidency;
a n and the
peopleeven arein quiet in every district subject to
the north-west scarcely any foe of
magnitude remains. Our import trade has consequently
continued to attract the attention of dealers, to prepare
large supplies for despatch to the interior immediately the,
season permits, which we expect will be from the Ist prox.
Our export trade does not show equal activity, more on ac-
count of the stock in the market being unusually scanty,
and consequently kept up above remunerative prices for
shippers.
The Money Market has unAergono no material change
since our last. Money may be had in any quantity at 4
per cent. on security of Government paper. Fours are at
15k, and Fives at 61 to 61 discount.

DISCOVERY OF HUMAN REMAINS.—In sinking for the
foundations of the new schools about to be erected in Theo-
bald's road for the parigh of St. George-the-Martyr, Messrs.
Wigg, Son, and Oliver, architects, the workmen came upon
two skeletons. The skull of one, with the teeth quite per-
fect, is now at Mr. White's, chymist, opposite, who con-
siders it to be that of a female about 16 years of age. The
long bones of the legs and arms are sawn in two, as if to
lay in a small compass. As this may meet the eye of some
one acquainted with the history of the locality, any infor-
mation on the subject would be acceptable. Several coins
of William 111. have been picked up by the workmen about
the same level as the bones were found,

The Gwalior fugitives under Tantia Topee did
not venture to advance upon Jeypoor in presence of
General Roberts, but turned southwards to Tonk,
where they managed to loot the town before the
Nusseerabad force, which was at their heels, arrived.
They now continued their flight in the direction of
Boondee, pursued by Colonel Holmes, with a force
of Cavalry and Horse Artillery detached by
General Roberts. By our last advices the General
was still at Tonk on the 19th July, and Colonel
Holmes's detachment on the 17th was one march
behind the main body of the rebels, now reduced to
3,000 in number, and making for the Chumbul.
The Friend of India states that we have been
strengthening our Deccan stations, in anticipation
of a visit from Tantia Topee. We have heard no
confirmation in Bombay of this, nor, we may add,
of the extraordinary announcement contained in
the summary, that General Jacob has occupied
Quetta with his outposts.
