CONDITION OF THE COUNTILY.—The extraordi-
nary diminution of business in the Bankruptcy and Insol.
vency Courts bears emphatic testimony to the flourishing
condition of the country. Never before were they so little
occupied as at thi: moment. The Gazettes of last week pre-
sented altogether but live bankrupts, the usual number two
years ago being twenty in each gazette, or an average of
-forty per week.—Law Times.

AN IRRITABLE AMATEUR.--A gentleman, of no
mean pretensions in art, and of acknowledged talent, sent
more than one picture to the exhibition at present open in
the Argyle Arcade (Glasgow), expecting, no doubt, that
they would fix the wandering gaze, and excite the most
lively admiration. What one of them might have done it is
impossible now to say, for the ill-natured gentlemen who
hung the pictures, having strangely overlooked the merits of
the one in question, placed it in the staircase in such a posi-
tion that hardly one solitary ray of light descended on the
canvass. The thing was really too bad, and required re-
dress, and redress was obtained; bat of such a character
that few men, save those possessed of more than ordinary
courage, would have bad nerve to go through with what was
necessary. Armed with a brush and whitewash, the offended
artist proceeded quietly to the exhibition-rooms on Saturday,
evening, where he deliberately effaced from the disgraced
picture every appearance of form, or trace of colour; end
there it hung in this condition—at least it did so yesterday—
a curious illustration of the adage, that desperate cases re-

Mail.
Dia Loss or THE SUrEßß.—Orders have been
sent from the Home-office, directed to Sir Thomas le Breton,
the procureur-general at Jersey, commanding that the cap-
tain and mate of the Superb steamer should be put upon their
trial with all .necessary dispatch, consistent with the forms
of Jersey jurisprudence, for their culpable conduct, by
which so many lives were wantonly sacrificed.—Ministerial
Paper.

, BELGIAN CATTLE.—The steamers from Belgium
are bringing live cattle as part of their cargoes, which has
not been before usual to any extent during the year. The
steamer Sir Edward Banks, just arrived from (Mend, 44
brought 100 sheep, the produce of Belgium.

INDIA AND CHINA.

(From the Times.)

We have rec:4l,4ed our dispatches by the overland
mail, via Marseilles. The following summary of
our correspondent at Bombay contains some interest-
ing additions to the telegraphic summary received
by way of Trieste, which appeared in yesterday's
paper :--
_

" BOMBAY, SEPT. 17.—The petty civil war in the
Nizam's territories still continues without decisive
adnntage on either side. The Nawab of Elichpoor,
in following up the late victory of Borlee in too
unguarded a manner, has received a check from
the Nizara's forces, and retired on Unjungautn. The
Niztm h 49 restored his suspended Minister Ram
Boxi.h to favour, but it is not supposed that he will
long retain his office.. Another of the uSual emeutes
has occurred in the city of Hyderabad. It arose in
an attempt mole by 150 unpaid soldiers to carry off
a ficld-niece in part satiifaction for their arrears of
pay. 400 Arabs were sent affor them, who, after a
fic,h4, in which 17 or 18 were killed, succeeded in re-
cantiving the gun. _ . .

still in an unsettled abate, and it is re-
ported that th, prise .t Resident Colonel, Sleeman, is
to ba relieved by Mr. TJrrew, formerly Secretary to
G-wernment, and now political agent at Moorshe-
dabad.

" The present aspect of the Punjaub is most en-
couraging ; the population (now disarmed) havo set-
tled down into their former habits of industry: The
breadth of land taken into cultivation this season is
said to be unprecedented, and the. crops are every-
where most promising.
"It is rumoured that Sir 11. Lawrence had been
imprisoned by some independent Raja on his way,
back from Cashmere, bat the report is not ge-
nerally believed. Lard Dalhousie is still at Kuna-
war, but he is to be at Ucnballa by the middle
cf o.:tober, whence he proceeds on a tour through
the Punjaub to Peshawur. Sir Charles Napier leaves
Simla on the sth of November, on his return to Eng-
land. The courts-martial on Lieutenants Goodridge
and Rose have terminated; the former has been ac-
quitted, and the latter reprimanded for having placed
himself under the protection of the civil power when
gratuitously insulted and threatened with chastisement
by a person whom he had stated to be physically
inferior to himself, instead of applying' (in Sir
C. Napier's words) his boasted superior physical
trength to the defence of his person and his honour."
The first sections of the Bengal and Bombay
Railways will probably be commenced in November
or December. A scheme h'is been originated by
Captain French, late Acting-llesident at Birodi fur
a railway, 42 miles in length, to that capital from
Tsnkara Bunder, at the head of the GUlf of Cambay.
The preliminary survey and estimate have been made
at the expense of the Guicowar of Baroda. The ship
Ariadne was wrecked in the Bay of Bengal by the
gale of the 6th of August; 12 of her crew have ar-
rived at Calcutta, after v,.a•ndering about in the
Soonderbunds for three ivesks, exposed to every
variety of hardships.
" The Australian wines have at length found their
way into the Calcutta markets, and are selling there
fur 321. a
_dozen. Mr. Bethune has contributed
10,0001. to the New Female Schools at Calcutta.
J4ord Falkland is still at Chakon, near Poona, but
proceeds r.hortiy to the Mabableshwar hills; his
health is better, but not yet re-established. Trade
at Bombay is improving; the high prices of cotton
would have led to its being extensively adulterated,
but the stringent enforcement cf the legal penalties
attached to such offences will, it is. hoped, check the
practice. There is very little cotton now remaining
in the market, owing to which freights have fallen
slightly. Exchange has risen considerably, the pre-
sent rate being 2s. ld. per rupee for six months' bills
on London."

The Money-Market during the past fortnight has con-
tinued in the same easy state that we remarked on in our
last, and accerernodation for legitimate purposes is readily
obtainable. In shares of Joint St :ck Companies no great
amount of business has been done, and the transactions
that have come under our notice show rather an ina-
provernerit on late prices, the following being the quo-
tations at date:—Bank of Bombay, 19i per cent. prem.;
Ori-ntal Bank, 12 per cent. discount; Commercial Bank,

EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool—The porchases daring the nrtnight
amount to 5,225 bales and 1 375 candies. The quality
of the staple now procurebie being inferior, and the
prices asked by dt.alers exorbitantly high, have together
caused the market to asume a comparatively quiet as-
pect. Arrivals of the new crop are now beginning to
take pl ice. The stccks of last season's crop are nearly
exhausted.

during the pest fortnight, but prices continue firm
at 1,300 r. for Mundl3sir, and 1,275 r. for Indore.
There is very little of best quality Malwa procurable
est now.
