The accounts from India attract the chief attention this
morning, and as it is evident that Lord Ellenborough was still
going on with his belligerent policy, his return is considered
likely to be very beneficial in once more turning the atten-
tion of the inhabitants to agricultural and internal improve•
ments, the very objects which his Lordship professed to have
almost exclusively in view. The markets of India and China
were not very active, but a moderate business was doing.
Complaints were made at Calcutta of the delay in the arrival
of the outward mail, and the additional expense to which
the parties receiving letters were subjected, owing to the
defective arrangements of the London Post-office. We trust
that arrangements since made here will obviate this.
There are advices to June 13 from Rio de Janeiro. The new
tariff, it seems, was still expected to come into operation in
November. The political state of the country was more
composed.
The Stock Market looks flat again to-day, and the price
of Consols has declined again about i per cent. A few sales
continue to be made at intervals by the speculators for a
fall, and those who apprehend the carrying of their
operations still further. Consols for Money are 99* i ,
and for Time 99i j. The Commissioners have pur-
chased 10,000/. at 991. Exchequer Bills are quiet at 78s.

The Foreign investments have been without any buoy-

36j to 36 ; Colombian, 14 to 13i ; and Brazilian, New, 82.
Austrian Bonds are firm at 116; and Dutch Two-and-a-Half

FOREIGN STOCK LIST.—We have received the fol-
lowing note from "A Constant Subscriber to The
Sun :"

" The Editor of the Commercial and Money Department of
The Sun newspaper will please cause the Closing Prices of
the Foreign Funds to be quoted more accurately. There are
frequently mistakes. The enclosed paper will point out two.
August 2, 1844."
We wish our Correspondent had informed us on
what authority he makes the corrections. On referring
to Wetenhall's List, reckoned the most correct, and
used by nearly all the daily papers, we find that the
quotations given in The Sun are according to copy.
