r There is no news of importance by this Overland
\fail. We have Calcutta papers to June 22. The
I,,vnglislinuzn of that date says :
The five days which have passed since the despatch of our
last overland have brought us no fresh news from the north-
west, at least none at all likely to interest our home readers.
The subject of the famine, as far as the up-country met s
are concerned, seems to have worn itself out, and allusion
is only made to it when an opportunity occurs of pitching
into the central and local committees, for supposed mis-
management. The various changes in the native army are
being actively carried out all over the country, and polies
reform is progressing favourably.
The weather, which was so inclement here at the time of
our last report, seems to have done no great harm anywhere,
beyond the usual undermining of huts and houses ; and
has been succeeded by most delightful weather here in Cal-.
eutta, where, up to date, we have had scarcely a hot day
since the early part of Nay. We are sorry to say that
death has, notwithstanding, been unusually busy this sea-
son among the European community.
The printer of the Nil Durpan libel on indigo
planters has pleaded guilty, and has been fined 10
rupees. He gave up the name of the Rev. Mr.
Long, as the gentleman from whom the manuscript
was received.

THE BOMBAY MAILS.

-~-- -

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's screw
steamship Ellen, acting Captain E. J. Baker (the
late commander, Captain J. K. Joy, having died at
Alexandria on the 14th inst.), arrived at South-
ampton at 9 p.m. on Saturday with the heavy por-
tion of the Bombay mails. Her dates of sailing
were—Alexandria, July 15 ; Malta, 19 ; and Gib-
raltar, 23. She experienced fine weather in the
Mediterranean, and thence to Cape St. Vincent ;
head winds and very foggy weather along the coast'
of Spain ; and from Cape Finisterre north-westerly
and northerly winds, with fine weather.
At 4 40 a.m. on the 17th inst., the Ellora spoke
the company's steamer Ceylon, steering to the south-
east; and at 4 30 p.m. on the 20th, the Euxine,
steering to the east. She also spoke her Majesty's
ship St. Jean d'Acre at 1 20 p.m. on the 22d.
The Ellora brought 57 passengers, viz , 26 first-
class and 31 second-class and servants. The names
of those from Bombay were published in The Sun
of Friday. Sir James, lady, and two Missas Coch-
rane were passengers from Gibraltar. On freight
the Ellora brought five packages of specie, value
not stated, 12 cases of shawls, one box containing
objects of natural history, and 198 packages of
sundries.

There has been a monster native meeting at
Madras to petition Parliament for the restoration
of the Nabobship of the Carnatic.
The following commercial intelligence has been
partially anticipated by a telegram brought by the
Bombay mail last week:—
PRODUCE MARKET.—The inclement weather which has
prevailed lately has greatly interfered with all business, and
tended to increase the prevailing stagnation. A greater
disposition is shown to operate, and as stocks are mostly
limited, an improvement is looked for.
IMPORT MARKET.—Scarcity of money in the bazaar, and
tho absence of remittances from up-country, together with
failures of dealers, and apprehensions of further failures,
limits business to the supply of immediate wants. We have
accordingly to report a very small business since our last,
and the impossibility of placing any considerable quantity
of goods at present.
GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.—The same stagnation before
reported in the market still continues. The transactions
arc chiefly speculative, either for Bon.bay or local account,
and the amount limited. Present quotations are barely
maintained.

The French frigate Ullola and the transport
Mayenne were at Alexandria.

Her Majesty's ships Liffey, Assurance, Foxhound,
and Hibernia were at Malta; and the Racoon and
gunboat Procris at Gibraltar. The St. Jean d'Acre,
'Commander M'Crea, left Gibraltar at 4 30 p.m. on
the 20th on a cruise to the eastward of the rock, and
was expected to touch at Almeria and Malaga.

Major-General Charles Franklyn, G.C.8., com-
manding the infantry brigade at Gibraltar, left
for L;verpool on the afternoon of the 20th in the
steamer Atlas, on leave of absence, being in a deli-
cate state of health. Brevet-Colonel the Hon. F.
Colborne, C. 8., of the 6th Foot, acts during his ab-
sence.

JOINT-STOCK SHARES.—There have been but few trans-
actions since our last, and the values have generally been
maintained with the exception of India General Shares,
which are dull and lower, few being inclined to buy in at
present rates.
MONEY MARKET.—There is still some demand in the
bazaar fa. money at higher rates than those Piling outside
But with the banks and in the open market rates remain
before, and the demand limited.

A letter from Tetuan states that the barracks
about to be erected there are to be casemated, and
rendered capable of containing 15,000 men of all
arms. At the date of latest advices the city was
very animated, and the public health excellent.
Living was much cheaper than in Spain, and it was
stated that uwards of 1,500 Spanish women already
reside there.

EXCHANGE.—The transactions in exchange during the
past week-have been again of the most limited character.
On London the chief sales have been in banks bills at from
2-0",; to 2.01, chiefly at the latter rate. Small sales of Eng-
lish credits have been made at 2-os, and of American at
2-01 to 2-1.
FuEmirrs remain in the same unsatisfactory state that
they did by last report, but owing to vessels on the berth
for England having nearly completed their engagements
)r those small requirements that remain, rates are main-
tained.

The Spanish screw transport ship General Alava,
Lieut. V. Vial, from Alicante, arrived at Cadiz on
the 16th inst. The steam sloop Liniers, two guns,
Lieut. Serafin Aubaredes, left Cadiz for the east-
ward on the 15th ; the steam transport San Antonio,
Lieut. Castellanos, for Fernando Po on the 16th,

Edetana, two guns, Lieut. J. Flores, put to sea on
the 17th.

Serre, arrived at Cadiz on the 16th from Tangier.
The screw steamer Gibraltar was to leave Cadiz
on the 28th for London.

On the morning of the 22d 56 windbound vessels
were counted behind Gibraltar Rock, a number of

Advices received at Gibraltar stated that the
British schooner William and Martha, of Milford,
Capt. Lloyd, from Larache to Cork or Falmouth, for

repairs preparatory to resuming her voyage.
