80th

dower, with details of her Majesty's let
merits, under the command of Captain Staunton.
The 311, 4th, and SJI comitanies of the Ist battalion of
Artillery, left Dum Dum yesterday afternoon, on their
way to Cawnpoor ; and the 4th and sth companies of the
3d battalion are ordered to hold themselves in readiness
to march to the same place.
From Bombay papers we regret to hear that the ill'
health of Major-General Baumgardt, the commandant of
the fort, obliges him to proceed to ssa for a short time•
Co!onel Brough and the 2d Queen's have joined
Colonel Wallace's light field force near Kolapore, where
Colonel Outram, the P. A., is endeavouring to amicably
arrange matters.
We are. sorry to hear the cholera is still raging st
Kunnossee, near Kolapore ; two men of the Horse Ar"
tillery died there on the night of the 26th.
Captain Donelly, the acting Adjutant-General, has,
we understand, been appointed post-master to the fore
assembled at Kolapore, but the head-quarters are not )14
finally decided upon.

The 80th Foot are, we understand, by a recent alters'
tion in their mofussil destiny, to march to Agra instea
of to Allahabad, the duties of which will be taken (s'
also those of Ghazeepore) by her Majesty's 53d.
We much regret to state, that Major Wood, A.D.CI*
met with a severe accident on Tuesday evening, the 121'
ult., which might have been attended with a far mete
serious effect than even that which actually ensue"
We believe the particulars are, that a horse he 1/11,5
trying fell with him, but almost instantly recovering bib
legs, started oft before the Major could gather up t 11:
reins to check him, or regain his stirrups ; in will!:
situation the horse succeeded in throwing him wit!
much violence against some rails, whereby one of 10
ribs was fractured. He is doing as well as can be el`
petted, but we fear the injury he has sustained will kep
him an invalid for the next two or three weeks.
News from the Mofussil informs us that a detaehrneo
of irregular cavalry has been ordered from Bareillyll°
assist the magistrates of Futtehgur and Mynpoorie 111
the apprehension of Gunsya alias Kunsees, the murderer
of Captain Alcoolc : in ad htion to the reward of 5,000
rupees by the Government, 500 rupees have been offered
by Mr. Robinson, the comrni.ssioner.

The Prime Minister of Lahore and Goolab Singh spa
reported to have amicably arranged matters.
We understand that rice was recently sold at Cash-
mere t 2 mlunds and 16 sears (pukk4 weight) for the
Cashmere rupees—a rate unknown for many years.
15th.—Private letters from Agra, dated the 4th irist4
mention the appointment of Captain T. B. Todd, of the
Invalids, to the Postmastership of Mirzapore, and Mr'
Assistant Secretary A. Shakespear to act as ace,ouritiO
to the north west,rn provinces, in the room of Ni'.°
Grant, on leave of abence.

Our Sinde in,ws down to the 26th ultimo, informs
that Colonel Moseley's court-martial was expected to
commence about the beginning of this roontb, and we sr°
told that Captain Flyter is placed in arrest and is to bs
tried also ; and it is also reported that Sir Charh•s Nipiej
intends brint4ing both the Commandants of LI. Majesty°
13th and 7S th Regiments to trial on account of the esceP°
of 9-of the condemned men from the custody of the fortref
corps, and one, the last tried, from that of the latter.

COMMERCIAL REPORT-IMPORTS FROg
EUROPE.

BRITISH COTTON PIECE GOODS.—A considerable itS;
provetnent has been generally manifested in the demos'
tor goods under this head since the conclusion of the
l)oogah Poojah holidays, and we may leek forward to
continual ce of it, ; s from numerous other holidays having
Wien up the attention of the natives during a great pot'
don of the past month, and consequently restricted oPe;
rations, it is probable that up country orders which kns
la'n over will now be executed.
The improvement in the demand for Longcloths and
Shirtings, as noticed in our- last, has continued, excel"
for light makes, which are quite negleCted, whilst 'pis'
dling and heavy goods, as also good White Shirtingo,
have been sold at an advance of two to three annas Per
piece. The finer descriptions of White Jaconets hale
realised rather ,better prices, but other kinds, except
well-known makes, have not been much inquired for,
Gray Cambrics of 24 yards by 50 to 63 inches are scarce,
and in demand at improved rates, whilst Whites are diff'
cult of sale. A pretty fair amount of business has bees
done in Mulls with some prospect of further improve'
ment. The market for Lappets and Japan Spots be.s
been more active, and a slight advancehas been obtained%
the same may also be said of Lappet Scarfs, of whin°
large sales have been effected.

PRINTED AND COLOURED GOODS.--Suitable Style.
of Chintz and Prints for the cold season have been
more inquired for, and holders, looking forward to the
arrival of the Affghanistan dealers (who may now be,
shortly expected), are showing more firmness, afl
prices may be quoted a shade higher. Turkey ree
Twills have been in less demand, but plain 24 to 25
inch finds a ready sale, although other descriptions are
neglected.
WOOLLENS.—The cold season having now set in, the
demand has (as anticipated in our last) improved, but
owing to the heavy stocks here, and on the way, we
cannot notice a corrcspondirg improvement in prices, al-
though sales have been made on rather more favourable
terms.

WHITE MULE TWIRL—Sales to a fair extent have
been effeet,d at about last month's rates, but heavy or"'
rivals are shortly to be looked for, which may probabll
cause a slight &cline.
COLOURED YARN.—AII descriptions hare been in fait
demand, and sales to some extent are reported at aboU
last month's rates.

COPPER.—We have no alteration to notice in this
metal. Prices of Sheathing may be quoted about the
same as last month, sales beving been effected to a 1130,7
derate extent at Co.'s Rs. 34 to 34.2. Tile is not much
inquired for, but Sa. Rs. 31-12 has been offered; holders,
however, are not disposed to realiseunder3l-14, at which
a few sales have been effected.

SPELTER.—Transactionsl;ive not been very exten-
sive, but prices do not show any variation from the
quotations given in our iast, viz., 11-8 to 11-12 ; ar-
rivals, however, of late, have been very heavy, say shoat
550 tons.
IRON.—There has been rather more ding in common
Bar, and the Bazaar dealera having reclim! their stoat),
are now obliged to come forward to pnrchae, but as TO.
we have not heard of any extenshe contracts having
been entered into. Pig is dull of salt and heavy in
stock, as are also Sheet and Nail Rod, end prices of the
latter are on the decline.

LEAD AND TIN PLATES.—Tin Plate, Live advanced
in price ; the last sale reported being 275 boxes at 15.4•
Pig Lead has sold to a moderate extent at Sa. Rs. 6-5
per Ind. ; Patent Shot at 3 Rs. per bag. Red Lead at 9
to 9-4 per md. In other descriptions no sales reported•
13EEn.—Sales have been limited since our last issue,
most of the dealers being well supplied, and not desirous
of making further purchases at present ; Allsop's, at
auction, realised 60 and 61, and Bass'P, by private con-
tract, 59 and 60. Quotations of other brands are almost
nominal.

BOTTLES.—SaIes are reported to a small extent.
EXCHANGE.—Transactions to some extent were en-
tered into the early part of the month for bills, with
shipping documents, at Is. lOid. per rupee, but owing
to the paucity of that description of paper in our market,
those rates have given way, and good bills are not pro-
curable on snore favourable terms than ls. 100. :
r. d. s. d.
Agency Bills, with docu•

meats, at 10 months' date 1 10f a 1 101 per J'
Baring's Credits 1 10-1 a 1 11 Bank Bills at 30 and 60 „

days sight
Treasury and Bank of Eng-
land Post Bills at 30 days'

MONEY MARKET.—Transactions under this head have
not been very extensive since our last, but rates have
only slightly varied.
