► and all were scarce. In bleached goods, too, a fair in-
quiry existed for shirting and jacconets of low quality, and
an advance on previous rates for the former, of from two
to four annas per piece, had been established. Owing to
the few arrivals, added to the desire manifested by native
holders to ship cotton under the. government advance,
freights for Liverpool gradually rose from £4 ss. to £4
12s. 6d., at which rate engagements were entered into
previous to the arrival of the last mail. The very favour-
able accounts received of the cotton market in England
caused a further impetus, and £5 has been paid. For
London we quote £4 155., and China 10 rs. per candy, at
which rate engagements have been made. Owing to the
scarcity of money, an advance has taken place, and bank
paper at six months sight has been negociated at ls.
while for private bills with shipping documents is. 11d.
to ls. il4d. may be considered the rate. On Calcutta,
Bank of Bengal post bills have been negociated at par;
our quotation for 30 days' sight bank paper is 291 rs. On
China, for 60 days' sight, 206 rs. per 100 dol.
At Calcutta, on the 7th ultimo, a considerably better
feeling prevailed in the market for imports. The money
market continued in much the same state. The terms on
which loans were transacted were a shade more favourable,
but the security taken continued to be of the most tan-
gible character, and of a value leaving large margin for
errors of appraisement. In exports thre had been a fair
demand for staples, to be sent home as remittances,

Officers, act as you have done, with this exception, do not
enter dwellings unless armed with authority ; and take
occasion to send to your head for instructions when re-
quired. The great error which you (the inspector) have
committed was, going into the house. The other men
were invited there. When the slightest objection was
made you should have retired. We wish that our force,
the public force, for you are the servants of all the muni-
cipality, who pay you, shall, down to the lowest function-
ary, take particular care that there is not, on your part,
the least, the slightest infringement of the law. Let no-
thing- abate your vigilance. Watch this thing carefully ;
report it. We will be prepared for all that will come;
and you may rely upon the magistrates. You have al-

any doubts at any time, apply to them.

The cotton market for the preceding week had been
pretty steady, and although holders had freely supplied
the current demand, prices stood almost exactly as they
did a week back, though a comparison of quotations at the
two dates showed a decline in some instances of per
lb. The total receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports
were 1,683,137 hales, against 1,450,225 to same dates last
year—an increase this season of 232,912 bales. The total
foreign export this year was 273,043 bales more than last
—say 83,502 increase to Great Britain, 101,912 increase to
France, 46,368 increase to north of Europe, and 41,261 in-

southern to northern ports were 9,618 bales more this
season than last; and there is an increase in stock of
35,969 bales. Prices were :
