CALCUTTA.

The most important item of intelligence from Calcutta
relates to the Indigo crop. The accounts from several
important indigo districts represent the prospects of the
season as very dismal. The late gale did much. damage
to the standing crop, but the incessant rain of ten days
which succeeded it has almost destroyed the plant. The
unusual rise of the river has completed the injury occa-
sioned by the gale and the rain, and it is confidently
stated that the out-turn of the season will fall consider-
ably short of an average crop. The Exchange Price
Current says, under date June 2d : •
" Accounts from the indigo districts in the Lower

Provinces are rather favourable for at least an avera.gi
crop; but in the Upper Provinces there is little hope of
there being anything like an average."
"On the 4th June the gale occurred, and on tha 9th
June the same publication said :

" This (the gale) together with the continued bad
state of the weather, will materially alter the prospects
we entertained a week ago, of the probable out-turn of
the crop."
On the 23d—" The crop will certainly not exceed:
115,000 maunds, but a few weeks more will enable us t 4
speak with more accuracy."
On the 30th—" The deficiency will be great in eve•ey
district, and, we think the figure 115,000 maunds,
tioned in our last, may now be reduced to 100,0'00 or
105,000, as the probable out-turn of indigo in, tl.ie com-
ing season."
And on the 7th July—" We do not see ary reason to
alter the probable out-turn we gave in our last."
At Calcutta, imports continued much depressed; the
markets being without speculative delnand, and credit
generally still low. In the upper provinces unsatisfac-
tory prices prevail. Exchange 2s. lid. per rupee ten
months date.

INDIGO.
(From the Calcutta Englishman. July 4.)
We have no sales to report since our last, but large
shipments are in progress to London.
It was some time before we ascertained the damage
done to the plant by the gale of the 3d ult., and we at -a
sorry to have to report that, it is much greater than v,•O
had expected, the loss of course being greater in tkiose
districts where the plant was most forward.
In Kishnaghur. and some parts of Jessore, wb ere the
plant was young and backward the gale did no great in-
jury, but almost incessant heavy rain since has done even
more damage than the gale, and has considerably re-
duced the expectation of planters in these districts.
The loss sustained by the concerns on the line of
the Bhaugeretty has been ruinous, many of them
will scarcely make any thing (i. e. factories, which.
last year made upwards of 700 maunds will not make:
100), and none of them will have half a crop. Ira
Moorshedabad, Pubna, Rajeshye, and Bhauglepare
they are very nearly as badly off, land although in V.r-
hoot prospects have somewhat improved, there will 1-,e a
falling off in the out-turn of the district of about r 2,000
mds. These extensive losses, with the known gr eat re-
duction in the cultivation, and the now almost ter:ainty
of early and heavy inundation, the river having already
risen considerably, and all the plains being covered with
water, leave little hope of a crop exceeding 100,000 mds;
and, with a continuance of bad weather for another fort-
night, we have no hesitation in saying that it will be
smaller than any we have had for many years.
We think it of sufficient importance to state here, that
a further, and probably great reduction in the cultiva-
tion, must of necessity take place next year : and, Inuit
the:wants of Government permit some portion of the ra.
mimes of the country, which till lately have been 11.N17) ;
able for commercial purposes, to be again so ern*. jed,
we can safely recommend those interested in the trticle
to calculate our crop considerably under the aee.rage of
the last ten years.

A. MiiIIKET—JeLY 4,
REVEEW OF THE CALICBU42I:T
The Money Market during the last month has borne a
more
firm and equal aspect than for many months pre-
ceding.
The want of commercial confidence has ceased in a.
measure to exist.
The shipments to Europe during the past month I) Ara
not been large, which has tended to keep the rate of Ex-
change on good commercial bills, with documents 'at more favourable rate than was anticipated in the. early
part of the months.
Commercial bills of ten months, with and without do-
cuments, have been sold to a moderate araount only, at
2.14 to 2-Ik. Bills drawn under letters of credit, with
local endorsements, at 204, at three months' sight, have
found purchasers.
Treasury, Navy, and Missionary Bills have been in de-
mand, at 1-114 to 1-111-.
Government securities continue firm, but few transac-
tions in Company's paper have taken place.
In Bank of Bengal and Union Bank shares no alters.
tion had taken place during the past month.
FREIGHTS—Continue without any apparent altera.-
tion, which may in some measure be accounted for by ...he
scarcity of produce now available in Calcutta.
Sugar £3 0 oto 3 3 0 per ton of cwt.
Saltpetre 2 10 0 to 2 15 0
Rice 215 0 to 3 0 0
Indigo and Silk

goods 4 0 0 to 4 4 0 per ton ineast.
HAW SlLK.—Business in this staple is slack, chiefly
on account of the scarcity of good qualities. Fine silk
would be readily bought up at our highest quotations,
but such are not to be met with. Inferior qualities are
not in demand, and with them the market is supplied.
CORAHS—There has not been so much business doneF
for the last fortnight, and there are again new con..
plaints as to the qualities of the goods. There is, h
~w-ever,
ever, no alteration in the quotations for the markr,ts,
which remain for Cossim-bazaar Corahs per corge., 120
to 150.

SALTPETRE—Is in active demand, and is like',y so to
continue while the present low rates of frelghtr, are ob-
tainable. The bazaar is well supplied. PriQe per B.
Md., 5 to 5-4.
SUGAR—Has advanced since our last issuse, and still
has a tendency to improve. Fine white sugrtr is scarce,
and commands a ready sale, with full prices ; the coarser
descriptions are not so much sought for, a' Id KEaur is
neglected.
Ituat—Has been shipped for England in -cons/ derable

"Having thus got rid of this column, although not in
the way I conld have wished, and being joined by Sir
William Parker, who on his arrival from Ta-Shan, with
the zeal for which he is so conspicuous, at once followed
me up the river with the two small steamers, bringing
with him 250 marines and a party of seamen, I deter-
mined upon moving on Tsekee, where I was informed
that the Chinese were in considerable force under
Generals Twan-Yung, Yang, and Choo. It was reported
that they had two intrenched camps on the Segaon hills,
about half a mile north of Tsekee : that several guns
had been placed on the walls, and at the gateways, and
large stores of provisions laid up for the army in the city,
and that seven miles north-east of these encampments
another force of from 5,000 to 6,000 men, under Com-
missioner Wun, with the military chest, was posted in a
fortified camp in the hills at Chungki-pass.

" The conduct of the 49th came more under my per-
sonal observation, and I witnessed with great satisfaction
the zealous exertions of Captain Reignold (wounded) ;
Lieutenant and Adjutant Browne ; Lieutenants Ramsay
and Mitchell, of the Grenadier Company ; Lieutenant
Lane (whose left arm was amputated on the field); and
Lieutenant Montgomerie (severely wounded in the thigh).
I must also mention, with much approbation, the con-
duct of Brevet Captain Balfour, of the Madras Artillery.
I also feel it invidious to name these officers when I am
conscious that every individual zealously did his duty ;
but as their conduct came under my own eye, I consider
it a duty to express my sense of approval.
" The exact strength of the enemy I can hardly esti-
mate, as various accounts give it at from 7,000 to 10,000
men: I conceive it to have been about 8,000 men ; they
were the elite of the Chinese army, including 500 of the
Imperial body-bard, remarkably fine men, the Kansush
troops from the frontiers of Turkistan, a strong and mus-
cular race accustomed to border warfare, and reputed by
the Chinese invincible, and the Shause troops, for whose
arrival Yih King gave out that he had delayed the at-
tack. Their loss must have been very great ; not less
than 1,000 were killed upon the field or in the pursuit,
and drowned in the canals ; a great proportion of man-
darins fell. These troops not having before met the
English, apprehended ,I presume, that we should give
no quarter ; and although the officers and men showed
great forbearance, calling to the Chinese to surrender,
very few prisoners were taken. We have, however,
three mandarins, two from Kansuh, and one a Lieutenant
of the Imperial body-guard.
"Fatigue parties from the several corps, together with
the available native followers, were occupied in collecting
guns, gingals, and matchlocks, left in camp or thrown
away during the flight, until twelve o'clock on the 16th,
when I set fire to the encampments and to the several
houses that the Chinese had occupied as arsenals. At
daylight in the morning I had sent to the town
to open the grain magazines to the populace, which
eagerly flocked to them, and upon visiting them next
morning, I found they had been completely emptied.
From these and other causes I could not commence my
march before half-past twelve o'clock, when the column
moved for the Changki pass, which I determined to
carry, in order to destroy this, as I understood, formida-
ble position, and capture the treasure chest. After a
rapid march of three hours, we reached the base of the
hill under this pass. The position appeared remark-
ably strong, indeed almost impracticable: from the
front, as the hills are lofty and exceedingly steep, and
the summits of the ridges were intrenched strongly.
But here again, as at Segaon, I perceived that
the position could be turned, and I at once
directed the Royal Irish to ascend the hills
on the left of the position, while I moved with
the 26th Cameronians, and 49th, supported by the
naval brigade, and occupied a wooded spur which
led up direct to the left of the encampment. On
reaching the summit of this spur, I found that the enemy
had retreated, taking with him his guns, and, I regret to
say, his treasure ; but a considerable quantity of good
bread was discovered, also some ammunition. We halted
for a couple of hours, and, as there was not sufficient
cover for all the troops, the works were set fire to, to-
gether with the magazine and a large joss-house where
the Atandarins resided. The column returned Tsekee,
which we did not reach until nine o'clock that night ;
all the villages in the neighbourhood of our route were
apparently deserted by the inhabitants ; but lam happy
to say, in no one instance was a house entered on our
line of march, along which no trace was left betoken-
ing a movement of troops through a hostile country.
Indeed, with the exception of a very few killed in houses,
where the Chinese troops sought refuge the preceding
day, I did not see amid the slain one individual who was
not habited as a soldier, which, as the peasantry were in
many instances intermingled with the fugitives, goes far
to show the forbearance and discrimination of our men
even in the heat of pursuit.
" On the 17th I returned with the whole force to
Ningpo, with the exception of two companies of the
26th, which I sent under Captain Strange, accompanied
by Captain Pears, direct to Chinhae, with a view to
ascertain the fact of a canal communication between
that place and Tsekee, and to clear the country of any
straggling parties of the enemy. This duty was satisfac-
torily performed, and the detachment rejoined mc here
on the 18th.

The Prince of Wasa who has served fourteen years in
the Austrian army without pay, is now to receive by
the Emperor's orders the pay of a Lieutenant Field
Marshal, 6,000 florins. It is said that his consort in-

the Prince, on the lake of Geneva.—Hamburgh Papers,

METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS.—There is going
to be erected opposite the Cadogan Pier, at Chelsea, a
new hotel and tavern, to be called the Pier Hotel, and a
street in a direct line into the King's-road. A spacious
terrace and street is also being erected in a line with
Lawrence-street. Government are going to make

Paradise-row to the Royal Hospital-row.
VIENNA, AUG. 21.—1 t has been positively affirmed
that Count Ruditzley, Commander-in-chief in Italy, was
dead. It appears, however, that the report arose from his
having had a fall from his horse, on which occasion he
received some contusion, but not of much importance.

therefore, it is supposed the duty is over-rated. We
expect a few new pockets at market to-morrow, but
prices cannot be steady till a larger bulk is in the mar-
ket.— Worcester Herald.

" The necessary arrangements having been made with
Rear-Admiral Sir W. Parker, the following troops were
all embarked by eight o'clock on the morning of the
15th, on board the steamers Queen, Nemesis, and
Phlegethon :—Madras Artillery, with four eight-pounder
guns, 83 ; 18th Royal Irish, 201 ; 26th Cameronians,
156 ; 49th Regiment, 305 ; Rifles, 36th Native In-
fantry, 54 ; Sappers, 66. Total, 865. Sir W. Parker
placed at toy disposal 350 seamen and marines, making
sip about 1,000 bayonets. At twelve o'clock this force
was landed about four miles from Tsekee, whence we
had a perfect view of the enemy's encampments, and I
immediately pushed forward on the city. I feel, it
right here to observe, that Sir W. Parker accompanied
me throughout the operations I am about to detail, and
from his sound judgment and excellent arrangements I
received the most valuable assistance.
" Upon our approaching Tsekee and occupying. a hill
which commands the southern face of the walls and
sonth gate the Chinese fired all the guns and gingals
they had for the defence of this gate, but with so little
effect, and at so great a distance, that it led me to believe
that they (most unaccountably) did not purpose to
defend the city ; and I was confirmed in this conclusion
by observing that the ramparts nearest us were unoc-
eu tied, while the Segaon hills at the opposite side of
th town, on which were their encampments, appeared
cr ,wded with troops. Lieutenant-Colonel Montgomerie
h i n g with his usual promptitude brought up his guns,
determined at once to take the city by storm, pass
through to the north gate, there re-unite my force, and
carry the enemy's encampments. I was led to this line
of operation by the conclusion before-mentioned that

Medea, Geyser, Hecate, and Devastation war steamers;
and Prometheus and Polyphemus steam packets ; and
Danish frigate Thetis, having on board his Serene
Highness the Prince of Hesse Cassel.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE REST OF THE BRITISH FLEET.
—The Savage, 10, is said to be cruising in the Channel
of Malta. The Formidable, 84; Jasseur, 10; and Lizard
steam tender are at Gibraltar. The Belvidera, 33, on
the South coast of Spain, and the Thunderer, 84, at
Cadiz. The Scout, 18, at Zante. The. Beacon sur-
veying vessel on her way from Port Naussa, in Paros,
to Suda in- Candia, calling at Syra. The Magpie sur-
veying cutter at Port Naussa. The Locust steam
tender at Marseilles. The Alecto steam packet on
her way from Gibraltar to Malta. The Snake, 16, at
Tunis. The Cyclops steam frigate, at Alexandria.
The Vesuvius war steamer, on her way to Beyrout
from Malta, and likewise the Vernon, 50, and the In-
constant, 36, at Beyrout. The Stromboli war steamer
is at Constantinople, and the Vanguard, 80, and Cam-
bridge, 78, which have sailed from Vourla, are said to
have proceeded to the coast of Syria. The Phoenix
war steamer, is at Bisika Bay, near the Dardanelles.
The Magicienne is at Smyrna.
MOVEMENTS (SINCE THE 15TH INST.)--.The Alecto
steam-packet, which left for Gibraltar on the 15th, is
hourly looked for with the return mails from Eng-
land. The Vernon took her departure on the 16th
for Beyrout to relieve the Inconstant, shortly to pro-
ceed to England to be paid off. The Devastation left
on the same day for Tunis, and returned on the 18th,
when the Snake was immediately dispatched for the
tame port. The Vesuvius war-steamer arrived unex-
pectedly from Beyrout and Alexandria with dis-
patches, which appear to have been of some import-
ance, as they were sent on the same evening to Mar-
seilles en route for England, by the Locust,
without any notification of such intended de-
parture having been made public, a proceeding very
common with our present naval Commander-in-Chief;
which has called for a remonstrance from the mercantile
classes and gentlemen connected with the leading
journals of the Mother Country. It is stated that
these despatches relate to the arrival of a French
naval force on the coast of Syria, and the assassina-
tion of the French Consul and several other Euro-
peans at Tripoli, in Syria. The Savage was dis-
patched on the 21st with sealed orders, said to be to
cruise in the channel of Malta, and look out whether
any French ships of war pass on to the eastward. The
Danish frigate Thetis arrived from Smyrna and off
Alexandria on the 21st, having on board his Serene
Highness the Prince of Hesse Cassel. She sails for
Naples on the sth proximo.

THE NEW TARIFF.—The largest number of beasts
imported from Hamburgh since the coming into opera-
tion of the new Act, arrived last night by the Countess
of Lonsdale steamer, Captain Stranack. They were 49
in number, and were of a superior quality to those
hitherto imported from the same quarter, and consider-
ing the rough passage, arrived in good condition.
The Brussels journals contain an account of a
pigeon flight, from Paris to that city, on Sunday last.
Of 91 pigeons, which were let off at eight o'clock in the
morning, six, belonging to different owners, arrived
before one o'clock. The first reached Brussels in four
hours and a quarter, and gained for its owner a prize of
a bronze clock, awarded by a pigeon society. Prizes of
silver spoons, &c. were awarded to the owners of the
other pigeons, which arrived before one o'clock.

BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 2.—We have no
alteration to notice in Sugars. Our market still conti-
nues languid ; a few sales have been made at steady
prices, without any life or spirit in the trade.—Bristol
