neighbourhood of Rotas, and the road being completely
closed by him, I sent out a party of eight picked men from
my regiment, with orders ,to bring in orkill Sungram Sing.
This party succeeded most'signally ; they disguised them-
selves as mutinous sepoys, brought in Sungram Sing last
night and killed his brother (who is the man who committed
the late murders by Sungram Sing's orders), his sons,
nephew, and grandsons, amounting in all to nine persons,
bringing in their heads. At this capture all the people of
the south are much rejoiced. The hills for the present are
clear of rebels. I shall try Sungram Sing to-morrow.

It is at least doubtful whether an amnesty be the
right weapon with which to attack the dacoits of
our jungles.

RAJPOOTANA.

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.

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-
lished, and the people' are quiet in every district subject to
this Presidency; even in 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 undergone 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
151, and Fives at 61 to 6} discount.

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