INDIA AND CHINA.

We have received, via. Trieste, in anticipation of
the mail, -files of papers from Calcutta to the Bth
Dec,, and from Hongkong to the 30th Nov.
We take the following from the Calcutta English-
man of the Bth Dec. :

"The principal event which we have to record by
the present mail is the surrender of the Nawab
of Banda, who was one of the leading rebel chiefs,
and hitherto successfully escaped all pursuit. The
other rebel chief, Tantia Topee, is still at large, and
baffles all, efforts of the forces which have repeat-
edly endeavoured to cut off his retreat, though
seteral times it appeared that he could not avoid
falling into our hands. From the official intelli-
gence furnished to the press, and which will be
found in another column, it will be observed that
the operations of the several moveable columns,
spread over a large tract of country, consisted
chiefly in the dispersion of the rebels without any
decisive blow being struck, and that in fact there
has been a great deal of marching and counter-
marching, crossing rivers, and re-crossing, and
various other movements, the object of which is as
unintelligible as the results of them are unsatis-
factory.

The sentence of transportation passed some
months ago upon his Majesty the ex-King of Delhi
has at last been carried into effect. The flat which
brought the ill-fated King down from Allahabad
arrived a few days ago at Diamond Harbour,
where her Majesty's ship Megmra was in readiness
to receive the prisoner on board, to convey him to
his final destination. His Majesty was accompa-
nied by two of his wives, and several other mem-
bers of his family, who follow him in his exile.
The party had taken care to provide themselves
with every comfort that could be thought of, and
evidently bear their misfortunes with the true
Moslem submission, and in as good spirits as if
they were going on a pleasure excursion.

"It was industriously circulated, not officially,
that he was to be conveyed to Rangoon, but as no
possible reason for such a destination could be
given, it was generally disbelieved, and it gra-
dually oozed otit that the Cape of Good. Hope was
to be honoured with the custody of the aged

assassin."

large dearah, and could go no further. Information was
despatched to Col. Seymour, but from some cause unex-

were obliged to retire. A party of rebels under Meghur
Singh, about 300 strong, was 13 miles west of Jugdespore

will doubtless join the party under Hurkishen Singh."—

the river, that part under Hurkishen Singh had dispersed in
twos and threes. Hurkishen Singh, with five others, was said
to have gone south, having failed to procure a boat in which
to cross the river. Meghur Singh, with about 100 men, is
still in the west thanah ; but Brigadier Douglas has gone in

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Calcutta Dnglishman of Dec. 8.)
On the 25th ult, the electric telegraph reported the arrival
of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's mail steamer
Alma in Madras on the 23d idem, and we received the heads
of political and commercial intelligence by that opportunity.
Ott the 27th the Alma arrived here. On the 29th the tele-
graph from Bombay reported the arrival of the mail from
London of the 2d of November on the 27th ult., and fur-
nished us with, the usual political and commercial intelli-
gence. On the 6th inst. we received our letters and papers
via Bombay of the 2d of November from London.
Tho Produce Market. —We have again to report un-
favourably of this market. The high prices demanded by
the merchants in the Bazaar, and the late unfavourable
accounts received from home, ha
weve taken our exporters
aback. Yet prices keep up, and are utterly at a loss to
account for this firmness on the part of holders.
During the fortnight under review a moderate business
has been done in produce. Indigo not so brisk as at the
commencement of the season. Raw silk quiet and value
drooping. Sugar in no demand for Great Britain. Salt-
petre dull and declining. _
The Import Market.—We have again to report an active
market in piece goods, caused by the favourable accounts
received from the up-country marts, and the light arrivals
and stocks here during the past month, which have led to
a further advance of 1 to 2 annas upon our last quotations.
Yarns, although firm, are rather quiet in demand, but an
improvement is soon expected, as the imports have been

Government Securities.—Still neglected, and the market
is without auimatio, but fig peon, as the easy mode of

enfacement here, and effectual transfer from one to another
by endorsement in England, is understood, the re can bolo
doubt but that the improvement will be considerable.
The Money MErxket.--We have no change at all to nities
under this heal.

Joint-Stock Shares are supported, especially thoe of the
India General Steam Company, 2,300 being the quotations
of these.

lxciancre.—A fair a:nount of business has been done for
the mail at 21d. to 20. I.`br first-class credits, and 2s. ld. to
2hd. for documents on Lou'don•
Freights.—The market &11l continues very dull, and
rates to Great Britain, France, and America are still very
low.
