INDIA.

We have received by electric telegraph, via
Trieste, intelligence of the arriral of the Oriental
steamer at Suez, on the 3d instant, with the Bombay
mails of the 16th of March.

The expedition under Sir Colin Campbell against
the mountaineers in the neighbourhood of Peshawar,
had not been attended with the expected results. The
expedition had returned to Peshavvur.

The Hindoo and Mussulman populations in Mir-
zapoor had risen against each other under the in-
fluence of religious fanaticism, and in the disturb.
ances which followed the city was burnt to the
ground.
The rest of India was profoundly tranquil.
The sale of English manufactured goods at Bom.
bay had been large, at middling prices. Cotton and
opium were dull.

literally as we received it, with the remark that it in
all probability refers to the intelligence brought by
the last mail from Peshawur.

"An English free corps of 3,000 men met with a
reverse from the rebellious mountaineers in the Road
Pass, near Peshawur, in which two Eurupean officers
and 150 privates remained on the field."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 70 THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales, of which 500 Ame-
rican were taken for extort, and 500 on speculation,
with a firm market. The sales comprised 3,000 Ameri-
can at sid. to 74d., 2,000 Pernara and Maranham at Od.
to 7d., 600 Bahia at Gid. to 6P., 300 Egyptian at 6p.
to ?d., and 1,500 Surat at 40. to 51-d. per lb.—ln
Railway- Shares there was a further decline in prices.
It appears that the last official average of the six
weeks' prices of wheat was wrongly made up, and that
instead c f being 38s. it should have been 335.
The outline of the news from America notices ne
alteration in freights, but quotes cotton lower, and not
much doing in grain. Indeed, trade generally is re-
ported to be duller. The exchange on London was B,i-
-to 4. By this opportunity, there are later accounts from
Jamaica, where affairs continued in much the same po-
sition as before.
A telegraphic communication from Trieste furnishes
an outline of the Bombay intelligence. A fair sale had
been obtained for British manufactures, at moderate
prices. Cotton and Opium wee dui'. Morey was
plentiful, and the Exchange on London was 238-d. per
rupee.
Cape of Good Hope letters and rapers to the 20th
February inclusive have come to hand. There had been
a report made upon the working of the new frontier
system during the last two years, and it reads very ra-
tisfectorily. Kefir deprada'ions have become materially
circumscribed, and greater security of property was in-
sured than for three years pant. The want of labunr
seems to be much felt, and it was thought
that some of the nations of the interior, in-
cluding the Bechuanas and Basut us, would be
useful to the farmers, because more trustworthy than the
Kafirs. Having triumphed in the convict question, the
inhabitants of the Cape were anxious to testify their
loyalty as being unshaken, but trust they have estab-
lished a claim to free institutions.
The report of the Leipsic fair is not very encouraging.
At Amsterdam, on the 14th inst., very little was doing
in public securities. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
were 5511. The Frankfort prices, on the 13th inst., were
804- for Austrian Metallics, and 29.1 for Spanish Three
per Cents.
~.. The English Funds have been fluctuating and de-
pressed again, the further defeat of Ministers weaken-
ing confidence. Consols have realized 95j- i for Trans-
fer, and 951 i for Account. The state of affairs in
France is likewise a cause of solicitude. The New

In the Foreign Merlet there is less animation. Spanish
Five per Cents, have been 184, and Portuguese Four per
Cents. 324. The Lisbon mail brings no intelligence of
financial interest, nor does there app, ar to be any im-
provement in the general trade of the country. Peru-
vian have continued in favour, the Actia e Bonds being
71 to ie The Deferred have realised 294 to 30-a.
Mexican have been 28# to 29. There aro late accounts,
viz., to March 14, from the city of Mexico, by the
steamer arrived from the United States, but
the letters are not in town, and all that
is positively known is that the resigiste ion of
M. Elassine, the Finance Minister, had taken place, as
expected. This is an event which appears to be consi-
dered of no importance. Buenos Ayres Stock, ex-divi-
dend, has realised 521, and Brazilien has been marked
86,1:. Dutch Four per Cents. have been at 83.
The Railway Share Market is in a miseralle conCi-
lion, and prices nearly all rule lower. North- Wean re
have been at a discount, and Great Western are ex-
ceedingly heavy.
