MILITARY INTELLIGENCE.

Casualties by death in the Armies of India, reported
since the departure of the Mail on the Ist of May :
lIEB, MAJESTY'S TROOPS.—Ensign W. V. Lane, 25th
Foot, at sea, on board the ship Tree Briton; Lieutenant
Bolton, 84th Foot, at Poonamallee, on the 11th April.
MADRAS.—Captain T. G. Oakes, 7th N. 1., at Baitool,
on the 24th of April.
BENGAL.—Captain 13. W. D. Cooke, formerly of the
56th N. 1., at Deyrah, on the 19th of April.
Letters from Lucknow inform us that the Thakoor
who held out, and whose obstinacy was the cause of the
late affair° in Oude, has been arrested. It is also said
that the native officer commanding the King of Oude's
troops on the occasion has been detected in an attempt to
aid in the escape of the Thakoor from the Fort of Betiah
during the night of the attack, and that the King's
troops actually fired on the companies of the 10th N. L
An' inquiry is now going on.—Delhi Gazette, April 27.
Doer MAHOMED KSA.N.—The aggressive plans of
the Ameer Dost Mahomed Khan, of Caubul, seem all
destined to share the same fate. Candahar, even Sinde,
Herat, the Punjaub, Bulkha, and Bukhara, have ut
various times been invaded, or threatened with inva-
vasion, by this Prince. His Candahar brothers have
entirely shaken off their allegiance ; his intentions
against Herat never carried him far; his invasion of the
Punjaub in 1849 was followed by an •'ignominious expul-
sion," and we now learn that his latest " raid " across
the Hindookosh has been attended with equally unpro-
pitious results. The Ameer of Bokhara, whose domi-
nions he recently threatened, has not only succeeded in
stemming the stream; but in turning it back, and has ex-
pelled the troops of Dost Mahomed from Bulkh and
Kooloom, of which be had taken possession during the
past year. He is unce more confined to the limits that
marked his dominions, when an evil star led the Govern-
ment of India to invade Affghanistan.—Lahore Chronicle,
April 24,

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
STATE OF THE BOMBAY MARKETS.
FROM MAY 1 TO MAY 10. INCLUSIVE.

BOMBAY, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 10.

Money continues very plentiful, and a 'reduction in
the rates of discount to the extent of two per cent. has
taken place since last mail left. There has been a fair
inquiry for Government paper, and sales of New Five
per Cent. have been effected at par. Shares have also
been in demand—more especially those of the Commer-
cial Bank, which we now quote at 12 per cent. discount.
There has likewise been an inquiry for Orientals and
Agras, but there are few sellers of either, unless at ad-
vanced prices.
The state of the import market during the past ten
days affords little opportunity for comment, and as the
season is on the point of closing, but little business has
been transacted. The stocks 'of most descriptions of
goods on hand are heavy, and the demand dull, except
for a few, which are readily purchased as they arrive,
and for which full prices are obtained. The arrivals of
vessels with large supplies during the past week have
been rather numerous. In exports there is nothing
doing except for cotton, the prices of all descriptions of
which continue very high.
Freights continue dill beyond measure, the arrivals
having been very numerous of late,
and shippers scarce.
Rates are almost nominal at about 1/. 103. to 11. 171. 6d.
per ton to London and Liverpool; while to China the
rate has gone down to 9 rs. per candy.
EXCHANGE.—The Oriental Bank has been supplying
the demand at 21. per rupee six months' sight, but the
amount of business done has been limited, there being
little to remit. On Calcutta rates have advanced, say to
rs. 99i- for 60 days' sight bills; parlor 30 days', and one-
half per cent. premium for sight drafts.

(From the Delhi Gazette of May 2.)
The present mail leaves India unusually barren of
news, since nothing has occurred to disturb the pro-
found peace reigning throughout our Indian posses-
sions, nor does there appear to be any immediate ap-
prehension of disturbances at any quarter. The
Kohat people, who were accused of being concerted
in the murder of Dr. liedley, and who were seized
by Captain Coke, have all been released, there being
no proof of their complicity forthcoming, and the
tribes in that neighbourhood have been allowed to
cut and carry off their crops unmolested. It was at
first thought that a movement would be made against
them when their crops were ready, but the idea of
punishing them seems to be altogether abandoned,
and until next cold season we have reason to believe
no attempt will be made to revenge the murder and
insult they have to answer for.

SUMMARY.—The out-going mail conveys even less
