dier Douglas has been succeeded at Kurrachee by Colonel
Frushard, and the latter officer has already won."golden
opinions from all sorts of men." The 25th hombay Native
Infantry has arrived at the Presidency. The 2d Bombay
Cavalry are to follow, and have received instructions to pro-
ceed to Poonah. The loss of the latter corps is to be sup-
plied by the addition of another regiment of Sinde Horse,
which will be stationed between Sukkur and the Sheik fron-
tier. We regret to observe an announcement of the death, at
Sukkur, of Major W. Brown, of the 69th Bengal Native In-
fantry. Sir C. Napier has issued an order on this occasion,
highly commendatory of the deceased officer, and expressive
of deep regret at his loss. The good folks of Kurrachee,
judging from the constant gaieties in progress amongst them,
races, balls, dinners, and cricket matches, must succeed most
effectually in dissipating ennui.

we learn, Sir J. Davis is not adapted for that purpose. He
is exclusively a Cantpn and an opium diplomatist, and even
,his little smatteringf ihe Canton dialbet, 'consi-
dered the -worst of the Chinese language, is a diFfailvantage,
instead of being beneficial so the proposed undertaking.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
BOMBAY, WEDNESDAY, Oar. 15.
'or the reasons given in our number of the 11th, the
market continues vary quiet. We have no alteration to note
in the prices of cotton fabrics. We have obtained a report: of
transactions in cotton piece goods, 'which we subjoin. The
raw staple continues to maintain itself at a high price, and
there have been about 4,500 bales exported to Great Britain
since the publication of our last overland report. We cannot
anticipate any decline in prices of raw cotton just now.
Twists and yarns are realising remunerating rates; prices
of some numbers have risen slightly. The imports during
the fortnight have been heavy, as will be seen by a reference
to our report below; meantime sales have been extensive.
The metal market continues without alteration, and with
but occasional transactions,. We subjoin our remarks:—
The market has been very quiet during the week, and, in
consequence of the approach of the Dewallee Festival, will
most probably continue so.
Natives are loth to make purchases at the clOse of their
year. We may, however, look for a corresponding reaction,
and the resumption of a steady business with the Hindoo new
year.

We have not heard of any transactions in cotton fabrics
Of mule and water-twist about 200 bales have been sold a
fair prices.

MONEY MARKET.

CALCUTTA' OCT. 7.
Our market was steady and money in greater atundance
to the 4th, when business closed for the Doorgah Foojah
holidays.
Government securities have risen, and show an upward
tendency, as will be seed by our quotations, especially the
new Five per Cent. Loan.
Exchange has rather receded, and sellers are not disposed
to give more than 1-14 to i at ten months' date.
In Bank Stock we have no alteration to notice.

CANTON MARKETS, Am. 26, 1845.
IMPORTS.

Cotton—The sales of Bombay during the month, are corn.
puted at 20,000 bales. The market has been considerably
forced, and sales consequently made at a much lower rate,
than previous quotations. The highest sale we hear of, is at
6 6 nett, 6 3 being about the average. We hear of a small
sale of Bengal at 8 5 nett, being but of very middling quality.
It is much wanted, and good Banda would readily command
9 taels. There have been no sales of Tinnivelly.
The stock of cotton is computed at 90,000 bales, about
30,000 less than at the same time last year. The clearances
continue on a fair scale, and as the imports will not be large
there seems every chance to hope for improvement.
Cotton Yarn:—High numbers in less demand, and price
drooping—low numbers still saleable.
Long Cloths are unprecedenteffly dull. The 'dealers have
light stocks, but there seems to be a very large quantity in
the pack-houses. Good whites are more saleable in com-
parison with greys than they were, but 72 reeds of either
will not fetch 3 dols. long. Fair quality of greys are being
offered to the dealers at 2 dole., but cannot be sold.
American Goods--Domestics', 40 vds. by 40 in., very dull
at 2 dols. 50 cents; but twills, 30 yds. by 60 in., being very
scarce, will command 2 dols. 75 cents.
Long Ells—Have fallen about 20 cents ; purple and scarlet
are worth 8 nols. 80 cents; Inazarine blue, 8 dole. 70 cents;
black, 8 dols. 40 cents; green, 7 dale. 75 cents; light blue,
8 dols. ; brown, 7 dole. ; ash and yellow, 6 dols. and 6 dole.
50 cents. The stock is by no means excessive, and there
being some strong holders amongst the Chinese, present rates
will likely be maintained-
Spanish Stripes—Have been dull, and late quotations barely
obtainable, 1 dol. to 25 cents long the full quotation.
Camlets—Quite unsaleable; the best assortment of colours
and quality of English will not command 20 dole.
Iron—Nail-rod, 3 dots. 10 cents; bar and bolt, 2 dole. 65
cents long. There is a good deal in the hands of foreigners,
and the dealers would give much above those quotations if
they could buy a quantity; but as the foreigners will hold for
rates equal to those in England, and as there will be no fresh
imports to speak of for some time, sn advance may confi-
dentlybe expected.

Leid—Deinand pretty good, 5 dole. to 5 dole. 25 cents long
the quotations.
Tin—The stock of Straits and Barca is small, and part of
it having been purchased for re-export, Barca may be
voted 19 doll., and Straits 18 dole. The demand from the
,noted
is limited.

Tin Plates have been in good demand for some time past,
and may be quoted 7 dole. 50 cents long, With a reduced
stock.

Putehuck in better demand-10 dole. 50 cents obtainable.
Rattans have become very scarce-4 dole. long may easily
be got for Banjarmassin, and 3 dole. 50 cents for Straits.
Betel Nut—There have been two importations, one of
2,500 piculs, and the other of 4,000. The first sold readily at
something about 5 doll., but the second has rather fright•
ened the dealers, and the same price cannot be got for it at
this moment.

Rice continues to droop ; Arracan can hardly be sold at 1
dol. 25 cents., and Manilla or Belli at 1 dol. 50 cents.
Opium—Malwa, much wanted; the stock of both good
and inferior reduced to a bagatelle ; good may be sold in
large quantities at 785 dols., and inferior may be moved on
much better terms than was ever the case before; Bengal drug
does not look so encouraging. A good business has been done
during the week, but this was known to be in execution of
limited orders from the country, which had been some time
waiting in the market. These were mostly for Benares, which
went as low as 635 dols., but rallied to 650,d015. and 655 dols. ;
Patna went to 675 dols., but rallied to 890 dols. ; Old Patna
seems little influenced, and may be quoted 715 dots. ; the
market must have receded much farther, but for the large
supplies sent up the coast. The quantity sent to that quarter
during the month is immense, and the markets there must
be swamped. As arrivals may hourly be expected from
Bengal, with drug to a large amount, laid in at rates which
foesent quotations will remunerate, a fall may be antici-
pated; Turkepremains dull at 520 dols.
Cochineal—Has become very scarce, and good will readily
command 230 dots.

EXPORTS.
Teas—The sales of Congon during the past week were
eomparatively small, only five or six chops being reported
as settled, the prices corresponding to those ruling from the
commencement of the season. Somewhat lower prices are
now looked for, but keeping in view the much reduced sup-
ply to come this season from the Sin. tche-kye district, with-
out a proportionate increase from the Moning and Hohow
districts, any material reduction in present rates ought not to
be expected. About 150 chops of Moning have arrived, and
upwards of 90 have been settled. Of Hohows 40 chops or so
lave come in, but only five or six as yet are settled.
Seuebong—About 12 chops in all have been taken at 10
to CO taels.
