RESOLUTION OF GOVERNMENT.

The Right Hon. the Governor in Council has received
with the deepest regret the melancholy intelligence of
the death of Lieutenant Henry, the Superintendent of
Police at AtimednuNer.
This most able and gallant officer died in the zealous
discharge of his duty. Undeterred by a severe wound
which he received in leading on his reen, he still ad-
vanced, and when prostrated by a second and mortal
wound, his word to those who tendered him their aid
was " Forward !" The late of one so young, so gallant,
so energetic, will be mourned by all the services, and it
will especially be deplored by the Government which
Lieutenant Hei.ry served so faithfully and devotedly.
The Right Hon. the Governor in Council directs that
the thanks of Government be communicated to Lieut.
Thatcher for the gallantry so conspicuously exhibited by
him ou this melancholy occasion.
The Right lion. the Governor in Council also consi-
ders that Mr. Taylor, the Inspecting Postmaster in the
Deccan, and Amnt 13uksh, Resilciah of the Poonab
Horse, are deserving of the high commendation of Go-
vernment for their gallant conduct en the 4th inst.
Mr. Chapman should be informed that his further re-
port will be awaited.

(From, the Bombay Gazette of Saturday, Oct. 17.)
Toe export market is also in au active state, and in
cotton a good business has been done since the arrival of
the English mail at advanced prices.

rial change to notice in them except that British bar iron
and nail rod are iu good demand, and have slightly ad-
vanced in price.

Cotton Manufactures.—All descriptions of gray goods
continue in active inquiry at former quotations, bat the
actual amount of business has been n.oderate, owing for
the most part to the Dewallee holydays. Some descrip-

a further advance in price. We have no material changes
to notice it: bleachei goods, which are steady at former
quotations. In Glasgow goods of all descriptions re-

change worthy of notice.
