to the preparations for the ensuing. Until the arrival of the crop, this state of things is likely to continue.

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES are without much inquiry, but holders do not seem willing to recede from existing rates.

EXCHANGE rather more brisk since the rise of in the Company's advances. Private bills are ranging from 1-11 to 1-114 at 10 months' date.

BANK STOCK is firm at our quotations.

FREIGHTS.

IMPORTS.

COTTON PIECE GOODS.-A considerable business has been done in cotton goods during the past week. Large supplies have been received by the arrival of six cargoes from Liverpool and Glasgow. SHIRTINGS.-Stout grey cloths are rather more inquired for, but current rates for these are still very low.

JACONETS.-Common and medium bleached jaconets continue in good demand, and a fair amount of sales have been made at full prices.

MADAPOLLAMS.-Bleached are very dull of sale, and of grey the 45 to 54 inch descriptions are alone saleable at any thing near cost price.

LAPPETS.-The lower qualities of these goods have been sold to some extent at an advance of about half an anna per piece.

LAPPET SCARFS.--Transactions have been to a fair extent, but no further improvement in value can be noted.

BOOK MUSLINS.-A few sales have been made of coarse descriptions, but still at low rates.

MULL MUSLINS.-The sales of mulls are for the season on a very moderate scale.

TURKEY RED GOODS.-There is less inquiry for these cloths, both plain and twilled.

PRINTED GOODS.-A fair business has been done in printed goods during the week without change in prices.

MULE TWIST.-The sales of the week are of an average extent. TURKEY RED YARN.-Without alteration in value.

WOOLLENS.-Under this head a fair amount of transactions are recorded at previous prices.

COPPER. There has been more doing in copper, and a fair amount of sales effected.

SPELTER. A temporary demand has raised the value of this metal during the week.

[blocks in formation]

There has not been much change in the market for country pro. duce since our last.

INDIGO.-Manufacturing being so nearly closed throughout Bengal, there is nothing of interest to report as to these districts. From Tirhoot we hear of heavy rain having fallen in some parts about the 1st inst. From the western provinces there is nothing new.

SUGAR. This staple continues in unabated request, and as sup. plies are now much reduced, bazaar dealers are holding out for a small advance in prices, which is readily given, and prices must be quoted 2 to 4 annas per maund bigher.

RAW SILK. In this staple a fair business has been done during the week at a further advance of 2 to 4 annas per seer, and the article is now getting scarce in the bazaar.

SILK PIECE GOODS.-Corahs are also becoming light in stock, and advanced prices have been paid during the week.

SALTPETRE. There has been more doing in saltpetre during the past week both for England and America, chiefly in Chaprah kinds.

RICE.-There is no change in the market for this article, either as regards demand or prices. Shipments to England continue moderate, and to Mauritius are going forward to an average

amount.

OIL SEEDS.-Large purchases of linseed continue to be made for America at previous rates Co.'s Rs. 2-1 to 2-5 per md. To England there is still little going forward.

COTTON.-Shipments to a moderate amount continue to go forward to China, though we do not hear of any transactions of moment being effected on the spot.

OPIUM.-There is little doing in opium, and prices have declined to Rs. 1,380 to 1,385 for Patna, and Rs. 1,320 for Benares. The stock in the opium godown consists of Patna 1,826 chests, Benares 513 chests.

MADRAS. MISCELLANEOUS.

ing down of several huts, which prevented the further spread of the ravages of the destructive element. It was ascertained that a native man, a horse-keeper or grass-cutter, who had some family quarrel with his brother-in-law, had threatened the previous day that he would burn the huts, and he kept his word; however, it is said he was seen committing the act-and has since been seized, and is now in custody. We fear a good many of these fires are so raised. Some years ago the coolies, who build these poor people's huts, and the men who make the thatched roofs, were known to be concerned in wilfully setting fire to some huts. The Rev. Mr. Lutyens, one of our joint chaplains, left this the beginning of the week on a pastoral tour to Mysore, French Rocks, and Hoonsore-which will cause his absence from the cantonment for upwards of a fortnight, during which period the whole of the clerical duties will devolve on the other joint chaplain, the Rev. Mr. Morant. And during that period there will only be three services performed in our church, on Sundays, in place of four, one of the European corps having prayers read to to them in their barracks. This arises from the church being too small to contain all the Europeans at once; and the duties of this large station falling on a single chaplain are far more than an individual can perform. What with service in church three times on Sunday, service on Thursday morning, when all ceremonies are performed, service again on Tuesday evening, and then the schools and hospitals, of which there are four of each that the chaplains regularly visit, viz. the artillery, fort, hussars, aud fusilier's hospitals, and the artillery, hussar, fusilier, and cantonment boys' schools, these alone require a great deal of the chaplain's time and attention, besides which there are funerals and many other calls for his services, fully occupying his time.

The troops have been rather busily employed during the past week. On Friday last the following appeared in orders :

[blocks in formation]

66 By order, S. HICKS, Captain, "D. A. A. gen."

At the conclusion the Major-general addressed Major-gen. Lovell, K.H., the commanding officer, and expressed himself, we understand, in very flattering terms, assuring him how highly he was gratified at the appearance of the regiment, as well as with doings in the field, &c. &c. The commanding officer then had the whole of the officers assembled in front of the regiment, and we believe stated to them the flattering encomiums the Majorgeneral had bestowed upon it.

In the course of the day of the inspection, the following appeared in the Cantonment Orderly Book, viz." In consequence of the inattention of officers to the regulations of the service on the point of dress this morning, on the occasion of H.M. 15th King's Hussars parading in review order, as notified in orders of the 4th instant, the Major-general commanding Bangalore is obliged to call the attention of officers, which he did not expect to be forced to do, to the G. O. C. C. of the 11th of August, 1825, which directs that 'an officer going to the parade of a regiment or brigade should appear in the costume the troops are in, whether dress or undress.'" The meaning of this will be very readily comprehended by not a few spectators, who were there in their usual morning dresses, fustians and chintzes.

The following appeared in orders the other day :-" All officers of this cantonment, who may have in their charge the effects of any officer of whose demise they may be informed, are hereby directed to report the same immediately for the information of the commandant through brigade office."

A native district court-martial also assembled on Tuesday, for the trial of a man of the sappers and miners. The following appeared lately:

[ocr errors]

DIVISION ORDERS.

"Head-Quarters, Mysore Division.

[ocr errors]

Bangalore, 6th Sept. 1845, Saturday. "In this season for drill, which by the general orders of the army, extends from the beginning of August to the end of February following, Major-general Aitchison directs that every regiment of infantry in the Mysore division shall begin as soon as the weather will permit, with the first part of the regulation book, of field exercise, and evolutions of the army, and go regularly through parts 1, 2, 3, and 5, as the easiest, shortest, and most certain method of making every individual thoroughly acquainted with them, and he particularly enjoins commanding

BANGALORE, SEPT. 12.-WILFUL FIRE RAISING.-About twelve o'clock on Friday night last, a fire broke out amongst the huts occupied by the followers of the 3rd regiment of light cavalry, and adjacent to the lines of that corps. It raged for some time with great fury; the wind being rather high at the time, increas. ing it. Between fifty and sixty huts were destroyed, and great fears were entertained that it would reach the spot occupied by the European pensioners; this was only prevented by the pull-officers to see that their captains and subalterns are well in

structed in parts No. 1 and 2, as without such elementary knowledge in those officers no regiment can excel in drill. When marching to, or in returning from the ground of exercise, a regiment will always have one company formed as an advance guard and one as a rear guard.”

The infantry brigade was out at field exercise on Tuesday morning, on the cantonment parade ground, and the cavalry brigade was out on Wednesday morning at exercise on the brigade exercising ground.

A bazaar report has been current here this week, that fears are entertained of another rising in the Southern Mahratta country; that the troops at Bellary are likely to move, and that half of the King's Hussars and half of the 1st Fusileers are to move from this in that direction; such is the bazaar gup.

Major-general Cubbon, our worthy commissioner, left this on Tuesday, on a tour into the interior of the province, proceeding first towards Coongall, and afterwards to Hoonsoor and other quarters.

SPORTING. Some parties are out again from the cantonment, shooting. We understand that a few snipe have been seen in the neighbourhood, but they are seldom to be found so early in the season, and there is little else to be met with worth going after at present. Hares are very plentiful just now, and may be purchased in the bazaar for a few annas each, alive. They are caught, we believe, with nets, by the jungle people, who bring in baskets full of them, quails, partridges, and peacocks, every morning nearly.

The weather continues pleasant enough, but still a great cry out for rain, of which there have been appearances at different times during the past week, but still it keeps off, and the cultivators of the soil are taking serious alarm for their crops. Indeed, some say part of the crops are spoiled already. We have had some very disagreeable days from the excessive high winds. Sunday last was a very unpleasant day, blowing high wind all day, with clouds of dust penetrating every where, and covering every place, as from a sieve-even in the house it is found sadly disagreeable, but to such as are compelled to be out of doors and move about, it is very annoying.

There is little or no sicknees here at present, either amongst Europeans or natives.

SEPT. 19.-Numerous reports are still in circulation relative to movements of the troops-one very current is, that half of the King's Hussars are to go to Poonah, to replace the 14th dragoons going to Bengal.

The following appeared in orders the other day :

DIVISION ORDERS.

[ocr errors]

Bangalore, 15th Sept. 1845. "The Major-General having observed the delay that takes place in bringing offenders to trial by regimental courts martial, directs that all such trials shall take place as soon as possible after twenty-four hours have elapsed from the time of the offence being committed-and that whenever the interval shall amount to seven entire days, especial report to account for the delay shall be forwarded to the division head-quarters, with the proceedings of the trial."

THE WEATHER.We have within the last week experienced a delightful change. On Friday night we had a great deal of thunder, followed by a heavy fall of rain, and Saturday morning set in with a regular downpour; we have had several showers since, particularly on Tuesday evening, when it rained for some hours heavily.- Athenæum.

BERHAMPORE, SEPTEMBER 5.-Since my last communication, we had for two or three days a steady fall of rain, and occasion. ally a shower, but not sufficient, I believe, for the crops; the surrounding country appears to have been more fortunate, as in some places the fields present a sheet of water; the last fall has, in some measure, gladdened the hearts of the poor ryots, who had begun to despair; the dookendars, who are ever ready to take advantage of the slightest change in the weather, have already raised the price of grain.

The troops, I am glad to say, continue healthy, particularly at Russellcondah, which may be attributed to the cleanliness of the place in general; and much praise is due to the officer commanding at that station, and to the adjutant, for the attention paid by them to the comforts of the men.

VIZAGAPATAM, SEPT. 15.-Authentic information reached this place about a se'nnight since of the death of his highness the Rajah of Vizianagrum at Benares. It is said that his son, who has passed his minority, will have to return to Vizianagrum shortly, and assume charge of his country, which has been hitherto held by the Government. I understand that an order has been issued by the collector to the effect that all the Mokassah lands appertaining to the said zemindary, granted by the late Rajah to individuals, are to revert to it, by his demise. The gloomy apprehensions of a famine (the necessary result of

a drought) entertained by the inhabitants generally, have been' happily, dissipated by a seasonable and abundant supply of rain, which has fallen during the past week, accompanied with loud peals of thunder and vivid flashes of lightning; and kind Providence has thereby graciously averted a calamity which was sadly anticipated by the residents; still more is needed, and we have every indication of a further supply. The ground is well saturated with it, and the atmosphere has necessarily become cooler.

Mr. Harton, overseer of the Commissariat Department, arrived here recently from Cuttack, with a view to engage vessels for the purpose of conveying saul timbers from the port of Dhamra to the presidency.

The bark Amelia, from Madras, arrived here lately, and is to sail for Maulmain to-morrow or the day after. The bark Clarissa is daily expected from Madras with the Rev. Mr. Fen nell and family on board.

PAULGHAUT, SEPT. 15:-The heathen have kept Paulghant in an uproar day and night for the last week, performing the "koodoompauvy," in the belief that so powerful a rite will induce Madapullay and her assistant deities to favour them even at this eleventh hour with rain; how far a few heavy showers (and more we cannot naturally expect) might benefit the present wretched crops we presume not to say; but, judging from appearances, the drought has lasted too long and done too much mischief to be materially remedied by any thing short of another monsoon. On every side the half-formed rice is parched to yellowness, and those fields of it which were not far enough advanced in growth to produce ears of corn, look as russet and withered as the mere stubble left after harvest. In the compounds and gardens all the plants are shrivelling up and rapidly crumbling to dust. Want of rain does not appear to be confined to this district, and if timely measures are not taken to import and store up grain, fearful sufferings are likely to follow this evident visitation. In seasons of calamity we believe it is usual to offer up public prayers in all churches and chapels that God may be pleased to avert the prevailing scourge from the borders of the land where his people sojourn; the custom is undoubtedly a pri mitive and laudable one; we have it on record, that such general supplications have been miraculously responded to, and we fear this strong dependance of the Christian is too much neglected in India. The idolaters of Malabar are, in their mistaken way, setting us an example, at which we, with our better light and truer knowledge, have reason to blush!

Captain Cotton and Brevet Captain Birdwood, both of the Civil Engineers, are here at present, on route to the coast; the former proceeds in a day or two to inspect the new lines of road, making and proposed to be made, through Malabar and Mysore.

The heat for several hours daily is very distressing, though the thermometer has not risen above eighty-four degrees in the shade; but there is a sultriness in the air that is really suffocating at times. Can the unusual state of the weather have any possible connection with the earthquakes so prevalent of late in the upper provinces, or the comets of the last and present years? Some of our gentlemen shikarees have been doing considerable execution this season amongst the woodland monsters. Ensign McH alone killed three large elephants in the S. W. Jun. gle, and a good account is expected of many more; the destruc tion of those animals is of the greatest benefit to the cultivators, whose labour of months they frequently ruin and devour in one night.

Arrivals. Stuart, Esq., of the Bombay Civil Service, and his lady, from the hills; Mr. Assistant Surveyor W. Williams. Departures.- Stuart, Esq., and his lady, to Bombay.
