CALCUTTA, JUNE 19,

Our produce market has experienced no change since our
last ; business continues very limited, consequent on the in-
sufficient supplies of staples, and the extreme prices.
The Money Market.—The unsettled state of affairs has dis-
arranged the market. The natives are panic struck, and are
drawing largely on the Bauk of Bengal in silver ; the effect
of which has compelled the directors of the Bank to raise the
rates 2 per cent, all round last week, and increased the mar-
gin for loans on company's paper 5 per cent.
Government securities maintained their value till the re-
ceipt of advices last week of heavy discounts in the North
Western provinces, and they have receded to the following
rates, vip. : Sicca, 4 per cent., 19 8 to 20 per cent. discount;
Company's, 4 per cent., 18 8 to 19 per cent , discount;
Public Works Loan, 5 per cent., 1 to 1 8 per cent, discount.
Exchange on London—Sales for the present mail were
first made at 2 1i for six months paper; but owing to the
state of the market, there being no great demand for remit-
tance, the rate rose to 2 2, at which the bulk of transactions
has taken place ; but during the last few days there has been
little doing, and rates have risen to 2-2 i r o 2-21 for first-
class credits, and 2-21 to 2-2 i for document bills. On China
the rates are 228 to 230.
Freights.—Notwithstanding a considerable demand for
tonnage for rice to China, rates to Great Britain, owing to
limited transactions in produce, have somewhat declined.

DEATH OF MB. MINT; h.t.P. —We are sorry to an'
nounce the death of Mr. G. F. Muntz, M.P., for Bir-
mingham, which, according to letters received in town
this morning, occurred yesterday afternoon, at his resi-
dence in the neighbourhood of the town he represented
for 17 years. It, is unnecessary for us to say that, as a
public man, Mr. Muntz was remarkable as possessing
peculiar views on monetary questions and as an ad-
vanced reformer. The hon. gentleman, who was in his
64th year, had been in ill health for some time past.
THE MURDER AT MAIDSTONE.—At the assizes held
at Maidstone, yesterday, George Edwards was indicted
for the wilful murder of his brother. It will be recol-
lected that the prisoner caused the death of the unfortu-
nate deceased by nearly chopping his head to pieces with
an axe. The jury found him guilty, and he was sen-
tenced to death, the learned judge holding out no hope
of mercy.

were chiefly enlisted in the Bengal Army, while

the Bombay and Madras consisted mainly of
Parsees and the lower castes, and amongst these

there has not been•the slightest symptom of dis-
affection manifested. The native chiefs have,
generally speaking, behaved very well. They have
protected those who sought refuge with them,
and b the best, of their power discourage the

mutineers. We are as yet ignorant of SCINDIAH'II

proceedings. The contingent which he supplied
have joined the mutineers. But it is not, there-
fore, certain that he will join the movement or
place his entire fate on the cast.
Wherever conflicts have taken place between
Europeans and natives, the former have invariably
been successful. At the first collision, the troops
under Major• General BARNARD completely de-
feated the enemy stationed before Delhi, captured
their positions, and drove them within the walls.
Subsequently, two formidable sorties were made,
but in each instance the assailants were driven
back with considerable loss to themselves, but
comparatively trifling on the part of our troops.
It is satisfactory to know that the conduct of
the Ghoorka Battalion, of the Sappers, and
other native troops, was exemplary, and
elicited the warm approbation of General
BARNARD. The Corps of Guides particularly dis-
tinguished itself. The Cavalry made an extra-
ordinary march of 750 miles iu 28 days, and the
Infantry were brought down on camels from the
Punjaub to take part in the contest. The con-
tingent of JIIREND RAJAH also rendered true and
loyal service under the walls of Delhi.
This concentration at Delhi is, in some respects,

fortunate. It gives the rebels "but one neck,"
and, that disposed of, the insurrection will be
completely suppressed. Great vigilance must of
course be exercised for some time to come, and
India must be garrisoned with a large proportion
of European troops ; but we cannot doubt the
issue of the contest, or that, when concluded, the
Anglo-Indian Empire will rest on a firmer basis
than it has done for many years past since
Sir CHAS. NA PIER issued his neglected warnings.
The arrest of the King of OUDE and his Minis•
ter is confirmed, but we have not the evidence of
his alleged complicity in the conspiracy. On this
point we must patiently await the next intelli-
gence, which may be looked for about the 12th
inst. The proceedings may have been taken on
conclusive grounds, or been merely justifiable pre-
cautions against any possible treachery on his

part.
The most deplorable part of the transaction is
the atrocious murders that have been committed,
not only on officers and civilians, but on helpless
women and innocent children. For these san-
guinary outrages ample retribution awaits the of-
fenders. None can pity or sympathise with those
who have disregarded every law, Divine and hu-
man, and set aside every obligation. We hope
and believe that the next mail will bring a very
different tale. The auxiliaries expected daily by
General BARNARD will enable him to attack and,
we trust, to capture Delhi. That will be the
signal for submission, and it is more than prob-
able that when Sir COLIN CAMPBELL and the troops
from England have arrived at the scene of action,
they will find the work finished, and but little
if anything remaining to be accomplished. 3
was truly fortunate that the troops en route to
China could be intercepted on their way. Their
arrival, of which we shall hear the next mail, will
probably setVe the affair. The Government can-
not, however,display any apathy, or false econoniii
Whatever may be the result for the present, some
time must elapse before the Anglo-Indian Empire
can rest upon a secure foundation, and the pros'
sure of a large European force will be essential to
a safe and satisfactory arrangement. We have
but little fears as to the result, but no effort
should be spared to render it what every true'
hearted Englishman must desire.
