here we lie in filth'. SN, e shall be killed in two
days' time, and may Goi avenge the slayers (,f
innocent blood !

0 God, take us into thy Holy Tabernacle.
Signed, Mi-s C.S., aged 18 years.
2. Revenge ! Revenge ! countrymen, for the
lives of your country-fello►cs.

COMMERCIAL.

BOMBAY, DEC 24

We have no material charge to report in our money
market during the past six days ; the banks are acting
cautiously, and the rates of interest charged by them
remain unchanged. Government and other securities
are without change.

IMPORTS.—COTTON PIECE GOODS.—The prices in the
market have generally decline.). Holders are effecting
forced sales at low rates ; and the business transacted
during the few days of report has been, in consequence,
to a comparatively greater extent than before. There
has been a general decline in shirtings of all desorip-
tions—except bleached shirting=, grey long cloth, and
grey domestics—from two to three snows per piece.
EXPORTS —COTTON.—No purchases have been made by
European firms. In consequence of much speculation at
present among the native dealers, the rates, contrary to
expectation, have not declined, notwithstanding the re-
ceipt of last advices from England. Our quotations
yesterday were as foil)we :—Broach and Surat, re.
135-38 ; Dhollera, rs. 140 ; OomeravuAee, re. 130 ;
Bargee, re. 125 ; Khandeieb, rs. 114 ; Compta, rs. 122 ;
and Dharwar Sawginned, re. 155.
TONNAGE.—Tonnage is abundant in the harbour ; and,
the arrivals being numerow, the rate,, are likely t, give
way. We quote to-day 1/. 10,. to 1/. 12s. 6i. for Lon-
don, and 1/. 7s. 6,4. to 1/. 10, tor Liverpool.
