BOMBAY COMMERCIAL.  The TimeB has received a despatch, dated Bombay, Feb. 9th. A new loan was announced on the issue of Treasury Bills at an interest of öt, per cent. Government securities had fallen heavily in consequence. The Import Market was less active ; cotton and oil seeds were lower. Money very scarce. Freights had slightly improved. Exchange 2s 1d for credits.  In the Bombay despatch received by the Times, it is stated that religious riots had occurred in Travancore. The Grand Jury have ignored the bill against Mr. and Mrs. Banks, charged with being implicated in the Andover Murder.  The _Daily News publishes the separate report of Mr. Lindsay, M.P., one of the Royal Commissioners of  Inquiry on manning the navy  THE MixisTßY.:—The Tunes announces that Lord Henry Gordon Lennox has resigned his lordship of the Treasury, and that he will be succeeded by Mr. Peter Blackburn, M.P. for Stirlingshire. In the Court of Divorce, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn delivered judgment in the case of Robinson v. Robinson and Dr. Lane, and after an elaborate review of the case, the petition was dismissed. An application for costs on behalf of Mrs. Lane was refused. On a similar application from Dr. Lane, the Lord Chief Justice said he would give no opinion on the subject. The learned counsel might renew the application, if he thought it necessary in the exercise of his discretion.  From abroad we learn that M. Meyerbeer's new work will be positively brought out at the Opera Comique on the 15th March. In Turin, Miss Victoire Balfe has made her debut with brilliant success, at the Theatre Regio, as Amina in the " Somnambula," having been recalled twice after every act—nine times in the course of the evening. Her next part will, we hear, be Catherine, in Meyerbeer's Etoile du Nord.  Duke Ernest of Saxe Coburg Gotha, brother of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, who is not unknown to fame as a composer, has achieved a fresh musical trinmph. A new opera, composed by his. Highness,'and called Diana of Solangen, has been prodneed at Dresden with marked success. The music is described as being of the modern school, but original and pleasing in its character. Should the opera maintain its popularity, it is not improbable that Mr. Gye may give us an opportnnity of hearing it in London.  Concert-tide in Paris is at high water just now, and presents a feature this year so amusingly described by M. Berlioz, that our readers shall share the amusement : " A new luxury is to be remarked this year in concert execution. There is hardly an artist who denies himself the whim of having an orchestra. Four honest first violins are got together, four very modest second violins, two poor tremulous violas, four hoarse basses, an innocent flute, two bleating oboes, some virtuous bassoon in a brown coat—and that's the orchestra. It accompanies the concert-giver's concerto, for better, for worse, scrapes out its overture, and the treat is complete The concert, with an orchestra, has been given. Only the concertgiver loses 500 francs more than he used to do, when humbly, as in former years, he presented himself alone before the public."
