BUNDLE° IJIN D.

We are indebted to Government for the following
,telegram from Camp Tal Behut, dated 15th Mara,
via Indore, addressed by Sir Robert Hamilton to
Loid Elphiustone, giving a brief account of th©
progress of our arms in Bundlecund

"Saturday, March 20, 11 a.m.
" By the occupation of Tal Behut, the whole of
the Chanderee district and all the possessions of the
Banpore Rajah on the right bank of the Betwa
river are freed from the rebels. Our authority is
established in Banpore itself, and all its villages
have been confiscated and incorporated in the
Nulhitpore district, under Captain M'Lean, whom
I have placed in charge. The Shahgurgh territory
is attacked, and Mr. Thornton left in charge at
Muruowra, the most centrical place. In the dis-
trict of Saugor the authority of the civil power is
restored. The Ex-Rajah of Shahgurgh was last
heard of hiding in the jungle near the Dussain
river with tweety followers, a pony, and a pal-
kee. The Rajah of Banpore is said to have fled to
Jhansi, which place his eldest Bon had quitted for
Ja'lanah. My people found two palanquins and a
tonjon belonging to the Rajah which have been left
concealed in a field near the village of Dar. The
mutineers and rebels under Balla Sahib, brother
to the Nana, are plundering in Bundlecund, levy-
ing money from every one and demanding large
sums from the Chiefs. The town of Churkaree has
been burnt, and the Rajah driven into the fort,
which he was still defending by the last account.
Seven lacs of Rupees had been wanted of the
Chunrpore Rajah. Sir Hugh Rose with the
second brigade are at Tal Behut, thirty-six miles
from Jhansi. The first brigade are attacking the
fort of Chunderee on the left bank of the Bitwa
which is expected to be occupied immediately, after
which the two brigades move on Jhansi. The force
is very healthy and supplies are plentiful. The
Tehree State has helped us well and so has Bijawar.
The country in our rear is quite quiet ; the crops
promise a good harvest. Johannes Jacob, an
Armenian, who was a jemadar at Birseah and a
captain commanding 100 men in the Banpore
Rajah's service, has just given himself up, with
four followers, and I have made him over to Major.
General Sir Hugh Rose, to be tried by court mar•
tial. All quiet at Indore and Malwa ; the panic
at Indore was without any sort of foundation."....

The following arrangements have been made in
the Brigade of Scinde Irregular Horse, under the
command of Brigadier-General John Jacob, C.B.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

BOMBAY, M&RCR 23.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship
Pottinger, with the English mails of the 17th February,
arrived here in the evening of the 16th instant.
The Money market continues easy ; altbough th•
Bank of Bombay had raised its rate of interest two per
cont., on account of the existing demand for Govern.
ment piper.

IMPORTS.
COTTON PIECE GOODS.—AII piece goods are extremely
scarce, and the prices of Grey Goode have risen consider-
ably. Grey T Cloths, Shirtings, Madapollams, and
Jaccanets are in better enquiry than before.
BLEACHED AND FANCY GOODS. —These continue to
be in active demand as before. Dyed Goods are not in
such fair request, with the exception of 28 yards Turkey
red plain cloth.
COTTON YARNS.—Both mule and water are in good
demand ; Turkey red and green are dull ; orange is in
fair request.
METALS.—AII kinds of copper in demand. Iron is
rather dull.

EXPOZTS.
C.tton—The market has been brisk since the receipt
of latest advices from Eng'and. The rates have ad-
vanced, and the supply is very scanty. The purchalies
for European firms are, however, limited. We qu ►ts
Broach and Surat new, Rs. 150-53 ; Compta, old, Re.
128-33 ; Oomeravuttee, Rs. 144 ; and Dharwar Saw-
ginned on the spot, Rs. 141-43.
Oil Seeds—A. slight decline is to be noticed in seed. of
all dei,criptions.
Opium—The state of the market is dull; and we quote
R. 1,275 as the closing rate for Maiwa. - -
Tonnage—There has been no perceptible alteration i■
the rates of freights, as the tonnage in the harbour still
continues abundant. We quote 11. 114. to 14 17..
for Liverpool ; for London, 11. 15s. to 21.; and for China
Rs. 7 to 8 per candy, nominal!
Exchange—The rates remain unchanged since our lad report. We quote six months' credits on London at
2 ; documents, 2s. lid, On Calcutta, eight, per
cent. premium ; on China, 60 days' sight, Rs. 216 per
100 dole.

THE BERNARD TIRAL.
The Paris correspondent of the Daily News
writes, under date of yesterday evening :
" It is impossible to describe the stupefaction
in Government circles occasioned by the verdict of
the jury in Bernard's case. The M.niteur, which
all the week has given full reports of the trial, now
sulks in silence, and does not even publish the tele-
graphic news of the result. This abstention as to a
matter of fact is childish in the extreme, but it is
a very characteristic symptom of the situation.'
Amidst the fury and vexation which the announce-
ment produced at the Tuileries, it was impossible
to decide at once upon the way in which the
matter was to be officially represented to
the French public. Whether indignation, indif-
ference, or expectation of help from the British
Legislature are to be exhibited is yet doubtful.
The surprise at the verdict is at least as great as
the disappointment. The worst that was expected
was, that after a verdict of guilty upon the facts,
the fifteen judges would have declared that the
Act of Geo. IV. did not apply to the case, and
then the Ministry would have had a fair ground
for asking the Parliament to supply a casus orris-
sus in legislation. But better than this was
hoped for. A French Government writer in
the Nord of Brussels says, if a verdict of
guilty be returned, Lord Derby's Government
feels confident that Lord Campbell and the
judges will find means to pass a capital sentence.
L )rd CampbElt's zeal and loyalty in the matter
are highly approved of."

The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post

says :

"The effect produced in official circles may be
thus explained :—The Emperor and his advisers
do not, I believe, regard with indifference the
encouragement the result of the trial will give to
conspirators. On the other hand, no exciting
language of the French press will be employed to
create indignation. The French Government will
maintain its calm dignity, and the Emperor will,
uo doubt, as before, wait patiently until justice is
done to himself and the French nation, by the
good- sense of the Government and people of
England,"

atal policy of the Ministers, and the revolu-
tionary theories encouraged by Count Cavour's
conduct at the Congress of Paris, in 1856, as
well as by the diplomatic intervention in
Naples, to which he was a party. He censured
the publication of Orsini's last letter in the Pied-
montese official gazette. Italy, said he, would
indignantly repel the affection and services of a
malefactor by whom she bad been dishonoured.
(Murmurs.) If tha bill had been pro posed before
those urgent demands bad been addressed to the
Piedmontese government by France, the conserva-
tive members might have approved of it, but a
feeling of national self-esteem would now induce
them to oppose it, although lie thought the conduct
of the cabinet bad merited the foreign pressure to
which it was exposed. He severely criticised the
second portion of the bill, enabling the government
to choose, through the syndics, the jurymen to try
offences of the press. However, he would have
such cases tried by the tribunals, and not by a jury ;
for otherwise the law would be a sheer illusion.
lie would frankly say to France that Piedmont
was not willing to alter her laws ; but, when it
should be consistent with the dignity of the govern-
ment and called for by the circumstances of the
country, he would pass a law by which their power-
ful ally might be satisfied, and a disposition shown
to pre:erve intact the bonds of international amity.
Signor Boociio said that the bill gave rise to two
questions of a different order, one political, and
the other politico-legal. If the Lill were imposed
on them by a foreign power, he should be the first
to reject it ; but he saw no proof of that pressure
from abroad on which the majority of the commit-
tee founded its motives for proposing the rejection
of the measure. There was nothing on the part of
France but a request full of dignity, made after
the attempt of the 14th January. No pressure
could be said to exist, unless the application were
made unjustly, or in a manner insulting to the in-
dependence of the country. As the government
had presented this bill, its rejection might be at-
tended with serious consequences both at home
and abroad. It would be a disastrous precedent
for the interests of the country to cause a ministerial
crisis on a foreign question. The consequences
abroad of so doing would be isolation with respect
to other countries. The sole support that Piedmont
and the Italian cause possess abroad is France, for
Englandhas joined Austria and abandoned us ; there
is no other support to us but France—France
governed by Napoleon 111., whose lively sympathy
to Italy is well known. After having pointed out
the danger of isolation for Piedmont, the Inn. de-
puty terminated in these words :—But what is asked
from us, after all, by this bill ? Simply to brand
with reprobation acts of conspiracy and assaskina-
tion. Well, then, I declare that it is an honour for

nic

us to vote for such a principle. There is incontes-
tably an omission on this point in our legislation,
and it is our duty to supply it. As to what con-
terns the organisation of the jury, I may make some
reserves, but I shall certainly support the amend-
ment which proposes to bring before the jury
offences against religion.
Count ham'As' began by remarking that trial
byjury, which Count Margherita had pronounced
a sheer illusion, had existed in France for the last
fifty. years ; aad although the hon. gentleman la-
mented the "birbarienu and corruption" of his own
Country, Piedmont was not less deserving than
France of having the jury system extended to the
trial of all offences. The hon. gentleman seemed
to think that the national dignity was at the pre-
sent day compromised. It was, indeed, easier to
take care of the national dignity in former times,
When Piedmont was so dumb and so nos'gnificant
that foreign states took no notice of her—when no
free press or parliament existed at whose utterance

of a protest against it from public opinion. Floss--
ever, it was not the Right but the Left side of
the chamber on which the real adversaries cif the
bill were to be found. Addressing, therefore, his
friends on that side who were influenced by' the
views set forth in the majority report of the com-
mittee, Signor Mamiani stated his various reasons
for supporting this measure. He agreed in the gene-
ral principle, that the objects of penal jurisdiction
should be limited to the social nece,sities of their
own country, though in the cases of forgery of
foreign money, and infringement of certain police
regulations, the injury done to foreign countries
also was admitted into consideration. But he con-
tended that it was the highest interest, and first
social necessity of every country, to take care not
to allow the principles of universal justice to be
violated, and not to exhibit the deplorable spec-
tacle of a criminal action wrongly remaining un-
punished. Now, what was the principle embodied
in the first part of this bill ? It was simply this
that whoever conspired or prepared to take away
the life of the chief or ruler of a foreign nation
"should be deemed guilty, and liable to punishment.
I must say," continued the honourable gentle-
loan, "that to doubt of the justice of such a
law would be to go against the uroversal con-
science of all good men. Political sects have
never been able to stifle the cry of abomination
towards that crime. Instead of approaching bar-
barism, I will say that in no period of the world
has the moral sense been quicker and miler
than in ours, and we ought to be grateful for this
to the progress of liberty and democracy. Every
teligious inquisition has fallen, the privileges of the
divine right of princes have fallen, and also the
thous prineiple that the end justifies the means.
oes i t seem reasonable that by the laws of the
Preite we should provide for the decorum of foreign
princes, and that we should yet leave their lives

livered over to the inquisition of Rome—that is to

lu the risk of a war. The right of asylum is one

bouring nations. Let us have no spying and

-raria Congress. I, not being either a Minister or
a diplomatist, am at liberty to say what the Presi-
dent of the Council would perhaps be unable to al-
lude to. The Emperor Napoleon 111. is to Eng-
land an ally of importance, to Belgium and Switzer-
thud powerful neighbour, but to us Italians
be is more— to us he is the descendant
of the great man who did no much good to Italy,
riot perhaps all that he could, but more than
any other foreign prince has ever done for her.
The Emperor Napoleon HI. let us remember, has
by the father's side Italian blood in his veins, and
he has not forgotten Italy, as I can affirm to you.
The occasion now presents itself for us to repudiate
the infamous doctrines with which foreigners are
endeavouring, to infest Italy. Let us seize on it
eagerly. The cause of Italy is sacred, and we
ought not to tarnish it by a vicious line of conduct,
or to permit it to be calumniated. Let it be known
ntoatn
alioltahlat we refuse nothing whatever that inter-
justice demands. If we act so, we shall
be able in the face of the world to raise our voice in
favour of Italy." (Cheers.)
The Marquis PARETO (of the Left) opposed the
bill, as having been ietroduced under foreign pres-
sure. Moreover the measure would seem to con-
firm the opinion that political assassination was an
Mdigeneous plant in Daly. France might find in
Piedmont a nation ready to sacrifice anything-to
the alliance, except its honour.
Signor FARINI defended the bill, first, on account
of its moral principle, and then because it would
tend to strengthen the ties of friendship existing
between Piedmont and France.
The Chamber then adjourned.
On the next day (the 14th) the debate was re-
famed by
Signor BROFFERIO, one of the majority of the
committee, who urged his objections to the bill in
detail, and criticised the French Government for
several of its poitical acts, expressed some vague
suspicions regarding its sincerity, sad then con-
cluded with complimenting the Cabinet on the
course it had followed in the case of Mr. Hodge,
England
expressing his displeasure at the conduct of
-eilegland in leaving Piedmont unsupported in the
ease of the Cagliari. (Cheers from the gallery.)
The debate was again adjourned.

The advices received from most of the manufac-
turing districts this morning report that a slight
improvement has taken place on the demand for
several descriptions of fabrics. At Manchester
buyers of cloths suitable for the Indian markets
have shown more disposition to operat?, but the
prices they offer are too low- to meet the require-
ments of manufacturers and spinners. In yarns
there has been very little animation,
and prices, it is expected, will rule lower. The
woollen cloth trade at Leeds has exhibited no ma-
terial change. In the various cloth balls there had
been a fair attendance of buyers, including the
agents of some large London houses, but they had
operated with considerable caution and only in
light goods suitable for the present season, but the
improvement id the weather has caused more brisk-
ness in trade generally. Business at Brad-
ford, however, has not exhibited much alte-
ration. There has been a slight improvement
in worsted yarns for export, but the terms offered
by merchants are so low that the spinners complain
that no profit can be realised at present rates. For
piece goods there has been a slight increase in the
demand, more particularly for light fabrics. The
operatives appear to be gradually getting into
employment. At Huddersfield there has been some
improvement in the woollen trade, chiefly
for home consumption, and trade has as-
sumed a more cheerful aspect, but there is
still a large number of operatives out of work.
The lace trade of Nottingham has been rather
active, chiefly for home use; the hosiery trade, how- j
ever, remains very flat, and many of the large
manufacturing firms are only partially employing
their hands. At Birmingham trade continues very
quiet. There has been an increase in the demand
for manufactured iron for home use, but in the
various fancy trades connected with the town
there is only a slight amelioration. The button
trade is extremely flat, and the jewellery business
is extremely depreszed. The hardware trades at
SheffiAd, Wolverhampton, and Wallsall have been
vtry quie+, but symptoms of improvement are
visible, although the orders received are small in
amount, and confidence seems to return very
slowly.
The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed
with an animated appearance, and prices of all de-
scriptions were rather firmer. The sales were
estimated at 12,000 bales, 1,000 of which were
taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. Rail-
way shares also exhibited a slight upward tendency.
There has been rather more demand for money
during the last few dap, both in Lombard street
and at the Bank of England, owing to the prepara-
tions made for a large number of commercial bills
connected with the East India trade, which are
now arriving at maturity. The supply, however,
continues abundant, and the terms charged for the
negotiation of good bills are still very moderate.
The supplies of Australian and other gold will tend
to keep financial affairs in an easy position, not-
withstanding the prospect of a loan. Great anxiety
is felt to ascertain the amount that will be required
to provide for the expenditure of the year. There
is naturally much diversity of opinion, though con-
fidence is expressed in the success of any plans
which may be proposed by Mr. Disraeli.
About 25,0001. in gold was taken into the Bank
on Saturday. _ I

The advices from New York are of a more fa-
vourable character, especially as they report a fur-
ther advance in the rate of exchange, and as there
is a probability of a fuxther rise, the specie exports
from th it country may consequently be resumed.
If this should be verified, there can be no doubt
that specie will. continue to accumulate here, as
large remittances are coming forward from Austra-
lia, and other sources of supply. From the Bra-
zils, for instance, the Medway has just arrived,
with about 411,0001. aid from the West Indies
also a remittance of 191,076/. is announced this
morning. The New York City Bark's returns
show a slight decrease in the specie, but the aggre-
gate was exceedingly large, owing to the continued
imports from California. The increasel demand
which existed for money -was indicative, in some
respects, of a slight revival in trade.
Owing to the apprehension that the acquittal o
Dr. Bernard may create 15n unfavourable impres-
sion in France, the Funds have been depressed in
spite of the contemporaneous arrivals of gold, and
the expectation of a satisfactory result from the
discussion on the Budget. The speculators,
however, look for lower prices from the
Paris Bourse, and t'aey have consequently
pressed sales. Consols for transfer have
been 96g 4, and 96.5 ; for account, 964
and 96 g respectively. The New 3 per Cents.
are 951 ; the Reduced, 95g a ; and Exchequer
Bills 335. to 375. prem. India Loan Debentures
are 994 and the Scrip is 991 100. India Stock
is 220 and Bank ditto 2215.
A limited business has been transacted in the
Foreign Stock Market, today. Turkish 6 per
Cents. have been 961 and arenow97±,while4 per
Cents. are 1044. Russian 65 per Cents. are 10011
Sardinian 914 ; Spanish 3 per Cents. 44; and
Venezuela 41 per °ants. 331 34.
Business in the Railway Share Market this morn-
ing has not been very active, but most of the lead-
ing lines have exhibited symptoms of improve-
ment. Great Northern, Great Western, Lan-
cashire and Yorkshire, and Brighton have risenss.;
North-Western, South-Western, North-Eastern,
(Berwick) and South-Eastern, 105. ; and Ca-
ledonian, Midland, and North-Eastern (York),
15s. to 1/. Eastern Counties have declined
about ss. The Foreign an 1 Colonial under-
takings have been dull and inactive. North-
ern of France have declined 10s. ; Paris and
Lyons 10s. ; and Grand Trunk of Canada 10s. ;
Great Western of Canada and East Indian are at
steady rates.
