OUDE.

From Oude we have scarcely any intelligence.
There are still believed to be some sixty or seventy
thousand in arms in that district against us, with
sixty guns in their hands. But the number alone
seems formidable ; they are expected to vanish like
smoke on the first burst of the opening campaign.
Sir Hope Grant continues atlSultanpore, from
which the enemy have retired, awaiting the de-
velopment of the plans of the Commander-in-Chief.
General Berkeley will, it is believed; proceed from
Allahabad with a force northward, while a massy
wall of troops will leave the insurgents no alterna-
tive but surrender or destruction among the moun-
tains of Nepaul. The landholders are flocking to
Lucknow tendering their submission, and, once
re-established in their estates, will form our most
efficient allies. Captain Browne, with a small
party, but without guns, defeated a thousand of the
enemy with four guns near Bareilly, cutting off
one-half their number, while Lieut. Finch per-
formed a similar feat on a larger scale in Saugor.

Trade is now brisk, but freights low.—We have
had a fall of nearly a foot and a half of rain within
the past fortnight. The Governor-General and
Commander-in-Chief continue at Allahabad.—There
was a meeting of Council on Tuesday, supposed to
have had the royal proclamation before it, the aocu-
ment having, it is understood, been for some time
in the secretariat.—The Governors and Commis-
sioners-in-Chief of Madras and Bombay are in the
Neilgherries and the Deccan.

DEATHS.—Lieut-Col. Alexander Cameron, 42d
Highlanders, at Bareilly, Aug. 9 ; Surgeon W. H.
Pigou, Bombay medical service, at Poona, Sept.
10 ; Lieut. W. T. Anderson, 25th Bombay N. 1., at
Gwalior, Aug. 24; Lieut.. W. B. Cowburn, 71st
Highlanders, at Gwalior, Aug. 31; Lieutenant
W. M. Males, Bombay Fusiliers, killed at Mooltan
Aug. 31; Major H. S. Mills, sth Bengal Native In-
fantry, at Murree, Sept. 3 ; and David M'Culloch,
Esq., at Bombay, Sept. 12.—Bombay Times.
In an " extra" of the Bombay Standard we find
the following paragraphs :

" The Ottawa, with the Bombay mails, has
broken down, her main shaft having sustained
injury."

"We have been assured on the best authority
that the report of the death of Col. Ainslie is un-
founded. When last heard of_ he was on his way
to Gwalior"

It is understood that Brigadier Douglas will
open the campaign in October, with 3,000 Euro-
peans and 2,000 Sikhs, and sweep the jungles from
Patna to Mirzapore. At the same time opera-
tions will commence in earnest in Oude. Sir
Hope Grant now holds Sultanpore and both banks
of the Goomtee—the enemy opposed to him,
17,000 strong they say, beini, forced well back
to the eastward. At Sultanpore, Sir Hope
will remain until Brigadier Berkeley, who has ad-
vanced from Soraon and taken Pertaubghur joins
him, and thus completes a semi-circle, in which the
rebels will be enclosed. When this junction is
effected, Lord Clyde will be at Lucknow, and
columns everywhere in motion. The chiefs are
only waiting for a pretext to surrender. Those
who own lands round Sultanpore have already
surrendered.

COMMERCIAL.
BOMBAY, SEPT. 23.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship
Cadiz, with the English mails of the 27th August, reached.
Bombay on the morning of the 9th inst.
The money market continues easy, and we have no ma-
terial change to notice.
IMPORTS.

Cotton Piece goods.--Our import market lam becA loss

active than during the preceding fortnight, and business has
been transacted to a moderate extent. Grey shirtings of all
descriptions are more or less steady, with a slight improve-
ment. Grey Madapollams are not so steady as before ; and
grey j. cloths and domestics have declined. Grey long-
cloths have improved slightly.
Bleached ani Fancy Goods.—Bleached Madapollams,
jacconets, and shirtings, excepting the fine qualities, are
steady. Lappets have declined. Lappet scarfs and co-
loured dhoties are also steady.
Cotton Yarns.—Both mule and water twist are in fair
inquiry, and the prices are steady. Turkey red and orange
yarn have slightly improved in value and demand. Green
yarn is dull. _
