police•ofsce was conducted. A native meeting has
been held at Madras, at which an address to the
judges of the Supreme Court was adopted, praying
that in future natives might constitute a moiety of
both the grand and petty juries.
THE DECCAN.
Uneasiness prevails at Hyderabad, from Colonel
Davidson's energetic measures for the punishment
of the disaffected. It is even said that the Nizam
openly abuses his gallant minister Salar Jung.
(This Salar Jung must not be confounded with his
namesake in Nepaul.)
MISCELLANEOUS. _

Lord Clyde is said to be looking homeward. H•
was expected at Allahabad on the Gth, to embark on
board the steamer Madras. It was thought he
would go to Calcutta shortly, if not at once, prepa-
tory to leaving for England. His excellency has
issued an order, of course sanctioned by Lord Can-
ning, granting 30 days' grace to soldiers who may
be in doubt as to whether they will go home or stay.
It is Not thought that it will . have much effect.
More than 10,000 still seem likely to go. Some of
the men are behaving badly, now they are civilians.
At Allahabad there have been some disgraceful
scenes. At Bangalore two men of the Ist Madras
Fusiliers, tried by court-martial, have been sen-
tenced, one to hard labour for three months, and to
receive 50 lashes, and the other to hard labour-for
six months.

The salt trade is expected to be thrown •open,
subject to the imposition of an excise duty. Free
trade in salt has been agitated for years.
The question of Bible classes in Government
schools is attracting attention both among European
and natives. The Madras Native Association
held a meeting, and adopted a memorial to -the
Secretary of State on the subject. Mr. Arbuthnot,
the director of public instruction, thinks voluntary
classes open to objection almost equally with com-
pulsory classes. Sir Charles Trevelyan is strongly
in favour of our present prohibitive policy. Mr.
Elliot takes the other view.

It is said that Lord Canning intends appointing
a native under secretary to Government.
Sir W. O'Shauzlinessv has issued a valuable re-
port on the electric telegraphs of India, the Bom-
bay Chamber of Commerce have appliad for it.'

COMMERCIAL.
REPORT ON THE BOMBAY MARKET.

Cotton Manufactures—The market has exhibited a fur-

ther improvemen, and a largo business has been done in
piece goods. Almost all descriptions of grey goods are
actively inquired for advanced rates. Bleached goods hare
improved in demand; common to middling descriptions of
shirtings, madapollams, and jacconets meet a ready sale at
higher prices. Glasgow goods have also met with more
attention and a fair amount of business has been done. A
slightly improved inquiry has begun to prevail for Turkey
red goods, and there has been some disposition to purchase
during the fortnight, holders having submitted to lower
rates.

Woollens—These continue steady, but with little altera-
tion in prices.
Yarns —The market has remained firm, and the business
done during the fortnight has been very small. Counts 20
and 30 of mule have undergone a slight decline, but the rest
of the numbers maintain previous rates. There has been
very little doing in water twist, and prices are steady.
Dyed yarns are largely supplied, and continue in slight re-
quest at former prices.
Metals.—With the exception of copper, iron, and spelter,
the market has been quiet. Copper has risen in demand
and value since our last. A renewed inquiry has sprung
up for iron, and a few sales have taken place. Spelter is
scarce, and dearer. There has been nothing doing in other
metab.
Cochineal.—Owing to a large supply on hand a reduction
in price has been looked for. Holders, however, show but
little inclination to submit to reduced rates, and conse-
quently there has been very little business done.
Saffron.—Stocks are light at market, and the consequent
enhanced prices have checked operations.
Beer.—The market is pretty steady, the inquiry for beer,
both in wood and in bottle, being slack.
Wines and Spirits.—Dull ; no sales.
Coals.—ln consequence of supplies having been received,
prices have fallen, and sales have been effected at the re-
duced quotations.
Corks.—As before.

Sundries.—No material sales have taken place.

THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very little English wheat was on sale here to-day, and

its general quality was inferior. The few fins samples on
offer were disposed off at fully Monday's advance in the
quotations ; but other kinds moved off slowly at last week's

currency.
Fine foreign wheats were rather dearer, and the transac-
tions in all descriptions were on the increase.
Floating cargoes of wheat were firm in price.
Fine malting, barley sold readily at extreme rates. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts were a slow inquiry.
There was a fair inquiry for malt on former terms.
Good sound oats were steady in price, but damp parcels
were a dull inquiry.

- -
Both beans and.peas were very dull, and the turn lower.
The flour trade was in a healthy state at previous cur-
rencies.
