DELHI, April ..
In the afternoon | went to Seamdra to
see the tomb of -Akbar.
1t stands in beautiful garden, which
is entered by four splendid gates, from
each Of which broad causeway leads to
the mausoleum. The building itself rises

of sandstone, except the upper, which is

ninetY-names OF God.
Monday morning, vert out to visit
che ruins at Futtehpoor-Seekree, twenty
two miles from the city.
This was Akbar's country residence,
and ne intended to make it his capital,
but gave il up. There IS a great number
of buildings, covering an immense area Of
ground. They are all different parts of
the palace, each favorite having a house
Of his own. They are all Of red sand
stone, beautifully sculptured, and built
with great taste. Except in this respect,
there are only two buildings worthy Of
mention. The first is the "Ping Muhul, T"
five-storied colonnade, each successive
platform being smaller than the lower,
until at the top it is only small kiosque.
The next is the Antelope tower, built
like the rest, Of red sandstone, and stud
ded with limitations of elephants tusks.
They say that the Emperor used to shoot
antelope from the top Of this tower, as
they were driven past for the purpose.
The whole group of buildings is won
derful, not only in themselves, for their
~
finish, but also for the perfect state Of
preservation which they are in. They
are perfect, but entirely uninhabited.
While l was visiting the buildings, a
slight sprinkle of rain fell, the first that

my way to Caifa, sixty days before.

The increased demand for money which
was noticed at some of the banks in the
early part of the week, appears to have
subsidized, and the market to-day was quiet
almost to the point of dullness. The move.
ment in gold was confined to q few sales, at
the same rates as yesterday. In foreign
and domestic exchange, also, the business
was limited, the latter ruling somewhat
lower. The transactions in stocks were
chiefly confined to the auction sales re-
ported below. State bonds we're dull and
lower, No transactions are reported IN
city bonds, which continued quiet and we've
quoted at slight decline.
We learn that the commissioners of the
consolidated debt, to whom the City COun-
Gil referred the premium bonded fund plan,
will probably submit the measure to q
meeting of bankers and inanciers tO-mor-
row night, aud propose to carry it into ope
ration rs soon as practicable.
