INDIA-THE BOMBAY PREsIDENcY.-Letters from
Bombay state that the war is almost dead letter.
For nearly a month there had not been a single
engagement, and the rebels were reduced to small
bands of robbers, who were gradually being ex-
terminated. The effect of this had been to stimu-
late trade. Roads had been opened, accumulated
@stocks OF produce released, bulocks and carts
which had been monopolized by government for
transport OF stores, &c, set free, and impetus
gwen to the business of Bombay, really wonderful
IL is estimated that the linseed crop of Bombay
will fully equal this year that of Calcutta. Other
oil seeds such as rape, mustard, poppy, gingelly,
and teel are in great supply and the cotton crop
roughly calculated at from seven hundred thousand
to one million bales-more than double that of any
former 1t is really astonishing see the vast
amount of produce daily pouring in. Bombay
will have, ere ten years have passed, the largest
trade of any port East of the Cape of Good Hope.

The New York Times speaking of the Southern
Convention, which is to meet at Vicksburg, May
9th, says:
We can match the individual rigmarole of any
individual Southern simpleton at the North. When
the New York Tribune shouts to the "Men of Con-
necticut to be up and doing, for the watch-res of
liberty are blazing the hilltops," and rallies its
legiODs to the fray, Northern men may well excuse
their more impeuous kinsmen of the Gulf for bring
ing out the revolutionary field piece and unfurng
their banner to the breeze. Nonsense of this sort
is bounded by imaginary lines, and fourishes in
the most various soils.
