SIR CHARLES NAPIER.—We regret to learn that Sir
Charles Napier lift Lahore very unwell ou Tuesday
morning. The fatigues of his march, to and from Pe-
shawur, must have been considerable, and may have
told even on his constitution. The Commander-in-
Chief mentioned to more than one person, during his
stay at Lahore, that he positively intended to return to
England in October.—Lahore Chronicle of March 30.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENC.E
STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS.

FROM THE 16TH TO THE 30th APRIL INCLUSIVE.

BOMBAY, APBIL 30.

Money is very abundant, and will be rendered more
so when the Feroze arrives from Calcutta. She has 25
lakhs of rupees on board for different parties here.
There is but little demand for accommodation, and we

• hear the banks arc doing next to nothing in discounts.
Government securities have not been i❑ much request,
—owing, we presume, to the report of the five per
cent. loan being about to be closed having
vanished. There is some talk now of a
41 per cent. loan being opened. Our Share
Market has not been very active. Some little business
has been done in orientals and commercials at our quota-
tions, but Bombay bank shares are still very dull. Agras
are in request, but none for sale. Great Indian Peninsula
Railway Shares seem to have suffered from the agitation
now going on in favour of having a line to Poona instead
of the one already surveyed to Catnap. We believe,
however, that there is very little chance of the former
being carried out: at all events we hope, for the sake of
shareholders in the present line, that it may not. We
understand sales of the shares in question have been
made at 30 to 40 per cent. discount.
We have scarcely any alteration to report in the state
of the import market during the past fortnight, and as
formerly mentioned it continues dull. Manchester goods
of the beat descriptions have alone commanded a trifling
advance in price. During the last few days several
vessels with supplies have arrived from Liverpool. The
export market also, from the great scarcity of produce,
continues without animation. Cotton has advanced in
price since the departure of the last mail, mainly in con-
sequence of the deficiency of supply.
Freights continue low, and there appears little pro-
spect of their improving for some time. Engagements
have been made to London at 21. 10s. for small parcels,
but nothing like that can be obtained for any quantity of
cargo; while to Liverpool consignees are willing to take
11. 17s. 6d. to 21. per ton. We quote the rate to China
at rr. 10i per candy.
Exchange on England has been rather unsteady. The
rate opened at 2s. Oid. for six months' sight paper, but
has since declined to Is. Hid. to Is. 11 15-16 d. On
Calcutta the rates have been firm, at about rs. 99 per rs.
100 60 days' sight, rs. 99i 30 days, and 99i for sight
bills. On China we quote rs. 2.10 f at rs. 211 for 100
dollars as the rate.

CALCUTTA.
(From the Bengal Hurkaru of April 20.)
No event of social or political importance has oc-
curred to ruffle the quiet current of the time during
the last fortnight.
The Governor-General left the Presidency on the
15th inst. on his return to Simla. The Commander-
in-Chief is gradually nearing the same destination,
visiting the various military stations of the Jullunder
Doab on his way.
The Indian Government has authorised the forma-

tion of an experimental line of electric telegraph,
from Calcutta to Hooghly, a distance of about 25

Moolraj, " the victim of circumstances," together
with the rebel Bhaee Maharaj Singh, arrived here on
the 18th instant, and were lodged in Fort William
yesterday morning. The ex-chief of Moult= will,
it is believed, be allowed to remain here confined to
the fort, where comfortable quarters have been as-
signed to him, but the Bhaee and his faithful disciple
Kuprauk Singh, are to'be transported to the Straits
of Malacca.

The produce and import markets are reported dull.
Little has been done in exchange, which is now
quoted at 2s. Old. to 2s. O'd.
The mail of the 7th March arrived per Bombay
Express on the morning of the 17th instant.
