New York, June 19th, 1849.
Since the departure of the steamer Niagara, there has been a
moderate business done in Flour, chiefly for the home trade,
without any material change in prices. The export demand is
confined mostly to the lower grades, of uninspected and fine,
which sell at $4 to 34,121 per barrel. The common Western
and State may be quoted at .8'4,50 to 34,56 1-4, and Strait and
better brands at 34,62 i to 84,75 ; Southern kinds are scarce
and held with sales at $4,9 to 85 for Baltimore, Georgetown,
Brandywine, &c. Rye Flour is in demand at
83. Cornmeal
sells at 32,87 1-2 to $3.
There is a demand for the better samples of
mixed selling at 102 to 108, and White Genessee 126 to 130, per
60 lbs.

asked for mess, and .88,75 to 9 for prime. Beef is in good de-
mand, at 511,50 to 12 for mess, and .89,25 for prime. Lard is

OVERLAND MAlL.—Bombay, May 21st.—India
mtketly tranquil, and the only facts of any political
('stance contained in the papers, is the surrender of
Panee to the British authorities, by the court of Nepaul,
and the final suppression of the insurrection in the Nizam
dominions, together with the capture of their intended
chief, Appa Sahaib, after a severe struggle with the Hin-
galee brigade, under Brigadier Hampton. The rebels
refused to surrender, and fought with the utmost despe-
ration. The cavalry, headed by European officers, made
a most brilliant charge, which was followed by a hand to
hand encounter. The Nizam infantry, although worn
out with fatigue behaved gallantly. The conflict was
fierce, but soon over, when the insurgents were over-
thrown, and fled. They found protection in the bush-
wood, and carried away all their treasures to the amount
of 15,000 rupees. Their chief was wounded and taken;
the slaughter of his followers was severe. Brigadier
Hampton received a severe sword cut through the ancle.
In the engagement of the Bohillas, the Nizam's loss was
reported to be four European officers, and seven or eight
cavalry troops wounded.
CALCUTTA, MAY B.—No political news from Scinde.
Sir C. Napier arrived at Calcutta on the 6th of May, was
sworn in on the 7th, and took his seat as member extra-
ordinary of the Council. His first levee on the 11th was
fully attended. Lord Gough has not yet publicly retired.
—The Times says no event of interest had transpired in
the Punjaub, where, notwithstanding occasional reports
of prevalence of disaffected feeling and alarms of small
outbreaks, everything has as yet worn an aspect of exter-
nal peace and tranquillity, It is reported that Colonel
Steinback, late of the Sikh service, was at the Lahore,
and was sent thither by Ghoolab Singh, of Cashmere, on
business, the nature of which had not transpired.
There is, however, a very sorry account of the state
of affairs for the shipping interest, for in anticipation of
the repeal of our navigation laws vessels hadbeen pouring
into the Indian ports from all quarters. From Bombay
to London freights had dropped under £3 per ton, and
were expected to go considerably lower. This change had
occurred so rapidly that a vessel was lying at Bombay
completing her cargo, which had been engaged for the
Clyde at £5 ss. per ton.

SIR C. NAPIER AND THE 96TH.—The Ca/cutta Star
says, " Her Majesty's 96th were reviewed at Fort Wil-
liam, by the new commander-in-chief, at day-light, on
the morning of the llth of May. Sir Charles Napier,
punctual to a proverb, reached the parade, accompanied
by the town-major, before a single officer of the regiment
had made his appearance, and finding no other amuse-
ment, walked into the barracks. Sir Charles Napier
addressed the men in a characteristic speech. After
alluding to his former connexion with the regiment he
said, lam very glad to meet the 96th again. We have
both been a good deal about the world since we were last
together, and I am very glad to hear such a good account
of the regiment. Your colonel t ells me that you are not
only in good health, but that you are good in conduct—
that you have very few men in hospital. Now, this is all
right, and I hope you will continue to bear a good cha-
racter. But let me give you a bit of advice—that is,
don't drink. I know young men do not think much
about advice from old men. They put their tongue in
their cheek, and think they know a good deal better than
the old cove that is giving them advice. But let me tell
you, that you are come to a country where, if you drink,
you're dead men. If you be sober and steady, you'll get
on well ; but if you drink you're done for. You will be
either invalided or die. I knew two regiments in this
country—one drank, the other did'nt drink. The one
that did'nt drink is one of the finest regiments, and has
got on as well as any regiment in existence. The one
that did drink has been all but destroyed. For any regi-
ment for which I have a respect (and there is not one of
the British regiments whom I don't respect), I should
always try and persuade them to keep from drinking. I
know there are some men who will drink in spite of the
devil and their officers ; but such men will soon be in
hospital, and very few that go in, in this country, ever
come out again.'
