Renger, merchant. Per Spectator. Mr. J. G. Mansfield. MONEY MARKET. We do not hear of many transactions in Government securities; the Five per Cents. have in some instances slightly advanced in value, whilst Fours, on the other hand, declined. Bank of Bengal shares are quoted nearly 100 rupees lower, but the Union and Agra Bank maintain their value. EXCHANGE-Shortly after the Government notification was issued raising their rate for advances to 1s. 11d. some little business was done in good 10 months' date bills with documents at 1s. 114d. and 1s. 11 d. per rupee; this rate, however, was not long main tained, owing to the disinclination to operate manifested by all the large drawers, and a gradual decline has since been observable, good bills having of late been readily taken at 1s. 11d. and in some instances as low as Is. 103d. per rupee, at which latter rates the mail closes steadily. IMPORTS. BRITISH COTTON PIECE GOODS.-The numerous native holydays since our last have so interfered with business that we have as yet but little change to notice in any fabrics under this head. COLOURED AND PRINTED GOODS.-Prints are at present neg. leeted and extremely difficult of sale, nor can we see any immediate prospect of improvement; Turkey red cloths of suitable makes continue to be sought after, notwithstanding that the season is so far advanced. Imports of all kinds in October amount to 480 cases. WOOLLENS. This market is still dull, and prices almost nominal. Imports in October were 106 bales. WHITE MULE TWIST.-A moderate business has been done since our last, and in some instances higher rates were obtained for Nos. 20 to 50; prices, however, were rather unsettled until within the last few days, when they became firmer, and 50's may again be quoted a shade dearer. Imports in October amounted to 1,435 bales, or 707,860 lb. COLOURED YARN.-This yarn has not materially altered in value, but transactions throughout the month have been on a moderate scale. Imports in October were as follows, viz.:-Red, 150 bales, or 62,700lbs. COPPER. The native holidays have affected this metal equally with almost all articles of import with regard to the extent of transactions, the sales of the month having been to a very moderate extent, although in most instances at the rates previously current, and at these the market closed firmly. IRON.-But little was done in this metal throughout the past month, but prices were nevertheless maintained. SPELTER.-Transactions have been to a most insignificant extent, importers having firmly held for an advance, which purchasers will not submit to. LEAD AND TIN-PLATES.-In tin-plate we have not heard of a single transation since our last. SUGAR. A few small purchases were made during the holidays, and on the day business recommenced at about the prices quoted in our last, but these gradually advanced, and during the past fortnight any white or yellow descriptions have been readily taken on arrival at a further advance of fully 8 a. per md., and we think it probable even higher prices would be paid were the article obtainable to any extent, as many parties anxious to purchase are deterred by the smallness of the only lots offering. SALTPETRE.-The decline in freights has again induced extensive operations for homeward shipment, and although at the date of our last the market was well supplied, stocks of fine descriptions have of late been much reduced, and prices have an upward tendency. RICE. The favourable accounts received of this staple by the last two mails have caused a very general and animated demand here, and the value of low and middling table (none of good quality having been obtainable at any price) in the first instance advanced to Rs. 2 10a. to Rs. 2 148., whilst now, prices must be quoted nominal, it being impossible to effect purchases at any price, except of broken and sweepings, and as all the marts in the Mofussil have already been drained to meet the demand, none can be looked for for fully a month, when the new crop may begin to arrive. RAW SILK.-In our last we stated that nearly the whole of the rainy bund had gone forward, and what little remained has since been firmly held for a considerable advance, so that we believe there has scarcely been a single sale during the month. SILK PIECE GOODS.-During the past month corahs have continued rather scarce, and holders of the few parcels on hand have not manifested any anxiety to realize, so that but little has been done. OIL SEEDS.-Notwithstanding the downward tendency of freights, we still hear of but few purchases of linseed for homeward ship ment. MUSTARD SEED continues in demand for Great Britain at full prices, and shipments are going forward to about their former extent, but still principally as broken stowage. SHELL LAC and LAC DYE.-Our bazaar is still very moderately supplied with fine shell lac, and the P and E has lately brought Co.'s Rs. 13 8a. per md. HIDES, HORNS, and TIPS.-The hide market has of late been looking up, and prices are firm. COTTON. Purchases are, we believe, being made in Mofussil, but this market continues quiet. JUTE. The new Jute is now coming to market pretty freely, and the probability of effecting shipments on moderate terms has induced several parties to come forward to purchase at the usual, cleaned from Rs. 9-8 to 10 per bale. MADRAS. MISCELLANEOUS. POST OFFICE. We have always much pleasure in bearing testimony to the high state of efficiency into which every department of the Madras Post Office has been brought through the exertions of our respected post-master and his active deputy. The Bentinck arrived about half-past five, and within an hour, every man connected with the office was at his post-though the services of only one department were required-ready to distribute the numerous packages that arrived. The Mail, consisting of thirty-four boxes, was all out of the office the same night, thus shewing what may be effected when men are willing and able to do their duty. In Calcutta, we believe, not less than three days elapse before the whole of the Mail is delivered. We are sorry to say, however, that the letters and papers arrived in a very shameful condition. Many of the boxes were wooden instead of tin ones, and the water had soaked the packages so much, that many letters received are totally unreadable. The address was in nearly every instance so far defaced and obliterated, as to make it a matter of difficulty to ascertain for whom various letters, &c. were intended, so that the post office people in England have shewn themselves guilty of gross carelessness on the present occasion. Our Calcutta contem poraries will no doubt take this matter up, should their portion of the Mail be found in the same condition; and we trust that the unanimous condemnation of the Indian press will lead to a thorough reformation of the evil we complain of.—Athenæum, Nov. 4. MALCOLM LEWIN, Esq.-It gives us much pleasure to find the following under the head of "East-India Home News :"— "On Wednesday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Malcolm Lewin, Esq., was appointed a Provisional Member of Council for Madras." This gentleman entered on his official life in February, 1814, so that he has been upwards of thirty-one years in the Honourable Company's service, during which period, as we gather from the Madras Nem Almanac, he has filled appointments of great trust and impor tance, and at the present moment ranks among the most judicious and distinguished members of the service to which he belongs. We therefore congratulate him on the prospect of reaching the very highest grade to which a civilian can aspire, and trust he may be spared to reap all its honours and emoluments, and at the expiration of his term, return to his native home, where, in the circle of his friends, he may enjoy his otium, cum dignitate without any drawback to the pleasure of such a state-Ibid. SECRETARYSHIP OF THE MADRAS BANK.-At a meeting of the bank directors, held yesterday, for the purpose of electing a suc. cessor to the late secretary, Mr. Robert Hunter, of Calcutta, was the chosen one from among the numerous candidates. This gentleman, we understand, is a bill-broker, and was formerly a partner of the firm of Hunter, Macgregor, and Co., long since bankrupt. He is well connected, and came very powerfully recommended, which decided the votes in his favour.-Ibid., Nov. 6. MAJOR-GEN. ALLAN, C.B.-The Crescent understands that Major-Gen. Allan, c.B., H. M.'s 57th regt., commanding Malabar and Canara, has obtained leave of absence to England in advance of the embarkation of the corps. HILL ASYLUM FOR CHILDREN OF EUROPEAN SOLDIERS.Donations, amounting to Rs. 13,000, and annual subscriptions to the extent of Rs. 3,000 have been raised for the proposed Hill Asylum for the children of the European soldiery.-Athenæum, Oct. 18. H.M.'s 25гH.-The detachment of invalids from H. M.'s 25th regiment will proceed from Cannanore to England as soon as the necessary arrangements have been made by the Bombay Government. COLONEL WILLINGTON.-The Crescent understands that Colonel Willington, H. M.'s 84th regiment, has obtained leave of absence to England for two years, on private affairs, from the Commander-in-Chief in India. SHAMEFUL USAGE OF NATIVES BY THE POLICE.-The Madras r Circulator calls attention to the shameful manner in which the natives are treated by the police functionaries, when they happen to be able to give information on matters requiring investigation by the judicial authorities, and give an apt illustration of the usual conduct of the belted gentry. CONSISTORIAL COURT.-This morning's papers notice that a Consistorial Court was formally opened yesterday in the vestry of the cathedral church of Madras. No cases were brought before the court, though rumours were previously afloat that certain charges of clerical delinquency were to be preferred. The bishop holds a convocation to-day, and will take his departure for Ceylon in the steamer expected here on the 13th inst.-Atheneum, Oct. 28. A DEPARTURE OF TROOPS.-The ships Worcester, Kite, and Sarah Crisp sailed on the 31st Oct. with the 41st N.I. for Vizagapatam-having been got ready for sea with most praiseworthy expedition. - SUBEDAR MAJOR CHYTE SINGH. The U. S. Gazette states with great satisfaction that the gallant veteran, Suhadar Major Chyte Singh, of the 2nd regt. Russel's Nizam's Infantry, who so nobly led his men in the attack on the Ghurry at Koel Kondah, has been honoured with most flattering marks of the political resident's approbation. A handsome gold medal with an honorary palanquin and a liberal allowance to support the expense of bearers, are to be conferred on this fine old officer. Thirteen of the principal Kolapore rebels who were condemned to death at Belgaum have heen ordered to Dharwar for execution,Ibid., Oct. 31. THE 5TH.-The 5th regiment at Bellary have about 200 men in hospital with fever.-Ibid. SALE OF THE RECORD NEWSPAPER.-From this morning's papers we learn that the good-will of the Record newspaper has been sold for 290 rupees, and is now the property of the proprietor of the Circulator, with which journal it will in future be incorporated.Athenæum, Nov. 1. THE Circulator has heard it rumoured that T. V. Stonhouse, Esq. and Col. T. B. Foster are about to proceed to the Cape for change of air.-Ibid. Nov. 3. THE BENTINCK.-The Bentinck steamer with the Europe Mail of the 24th September, anchored in the Madras Roads yesterday afternoon, and sailed for Calcutta this morning.-Ibid. LETTERS PER ATALANTA.-The number of covers despatched by the H. C. steamer Atalanta on the 1st November amounted to 23,027. DETENTION OF THE BENTINCK.-From this mornings papers we learn that the unusual detention of the Bentinck was owing to the damaged state of her copper, and the prevalence of the N.E. winds and currents.-Ibid., Oct. 4. CONFIRMATION AT MADRAS.-The Bishop of Madras confirmed about seventy young persons in the fort church to-day.-Ibid. H.M's 21ST FUSILEERS.-The Crescent understands that orders have been received from the Supreme Government for the move. ment, during the ensuing cold season, of H. M.'s 21st fusileers from Kamptee to the North-Western Provinces: it is said also, that one European regiment will be altogether withdrawn from the Madras presidency.-Ibid., Nov. 5. MILITARY MOVEMENT.-Should contingencies detain H.M.'s 51st in Australia, under orders to relieve H.M.'s 57th on this establishment, the first corps arriving in Bengal from England will be transferred to Madras.-Ibid. DEPARTURE OF THE BISHOP FOR CEYLON AND CALCUTTA, — We learn from the U. S. Gazette that the Bishop of Madras proceeds to Ceylon, in the Precursor steamer, and returns by the Hindostan, in which he will go on to Calcutta.—Ibid. H.M.'s 57TH Foor.-It is rumoured, as we learn, that H.M.'s 57th foot will remain another year in India.-Ibid. H.M.'s 63RD.-It is stated in the Crescent that the left wing of H. M.'s 63rd regiment will march from Bellary to relieve H.M.'s 21st fusileers at Kamptee.-Ibid., Nov. 8. HIGH PRICE OF GRAIN.-The Circulator notices the enormous prices which are now demanded for all kinds of grain, in consequence of the rains not having set in at a particular time. Rice is now more than double the price at which it is sold in favourable seasons, and the distresses of the poorer order of natives. are, in consequence, extremely great. It is said that there is no scarcity of grain, but that the dealers have taken advantage of the want of rain to fill their own pockets.-Ibid., Nov. 10. REMOVAL OF THE 19TH N.I. TO CUDDAPAH.-The Paulghaut correspondent of the Athenæum comments on the order for the removal of the 19th regt. N. I. from that station to Cuddapah, before their three years' term has expired, to the great pecuniary loss both of officers and men.-Ibid., Nov. 11. COCHIN. In a letter dated the 18th instant from Cochin, which reached us on Saturday, the following painful intelligence is conveyed: "Poor Taynton was buried here yesterday morn. ing; he died rather unexpectedly, and at a post mortem examination, his heart and liver were found fearfully deranged." The qualifications of the deceased for public service were of a high order, and it is probable, had his life been prolonged, that he would in the course of events have occupied a prominent place among our local Magistracy. He was perfectly familiar with three languages, Hindoostanee, Teloogoo, and Tamil, which, in connection with his thorough knowledge of the Native character, peculiarly fitted him for a leading post on the bench. In the circle of his friends, he evinced so much of the generous, the kind, and the cheerful, that he was endeared to all who had the pleasure of his society, and we feel persuaded that their regrets at his demise will be proportioned to the value they attached to him as a friend, a man of letters, and a devoted public servant. This second stroke, within so short a period, will tell afflictingly upon the heart of the widowed parent; still it may be some alleviation to her sorrow to know that but few mothers have been blessed with such sons.-Athenæum, Oct. 28. GOVERNMENT GENERAL ORDERS. 201 Fort St. George, Oct. 28, 1845. - The D. company 4th bat. art., ordered to be formed 8th July, 1845, at Secunderabad, to Secunderabad; the B. co. 5th or Golundauze bat. art., from Secunderabad to Vizianagrum; C. eo. do. from Vizianagrum to Penang, Malacca, and Singapore (to be embarked at Vizagapatam); the F. co. do. from Penang, Malacca, and Singapore to St. Thomas's Mount; 6th N.

LAUNCH OF THE "RAVEF."--Yesterday another of the small fiat-bottomed boats destined for the removal of troops, &c., on the Indus, and its tributary streams, was launched at the dockyard. She is called the Ravee.-Gentleman's Gazette, Nov. 1. CURIOUS LOSS.-We were favoured yesterday with the following advertisement, to which, out of compliment to the adver tisers, we give prominent insertion in our editorial columns:→→→ "LOST OR MISLAID-STOLEN OR STRAYED," "THE GARRISON BAND. "It is nearly six months since there were any traces of it on this island; and any one who can afford information as to its whereabouts, so that it may be restored to the advertisers, will receive the grateful thanks and smiles (surely the highest possible reward) of THE LADIES OF BOMBAY, "N. B. Application may be addressed to Government House, Parell." POONAH.-We have letters from this station to the 5th inst., from which we learn that the 60th rifles, which left Bombay on the 21st, arrived at their destination on the 30th ult.; and that H.M.'s 28th left for Panwell on the morning of the 1st inst., en route for Deesa. This corps will embark at Panwell for Cam. bay, when the 2nd European L. I. will return in the boats which took up the 28th, and the latter proceed on to Deesa with the carriage which brought the former down to Cambay. The 44th dragoons were busy preparing for their march to the north-west, and expect to leave Poonah about the 15th proximo. It is thought the corps would have left about the middle of the present month, but for having received a batch of young horses, which it is necessary should be at least partially trained before proceeding on their journey. The weather is described as very pleasant at night, the mornings and evenings being cool and agreeable, the days hot and sultry. The wind had changed from a south-westerley to an easterley and north-easterly direction. Sickness amongst the troops was diminishing, and the appearance of the men improving-more especially the highlanders. — Ibid. PRESENT BY THE OFFICERS OF THE 78TH HIGHLANDERS TO MR. BOSWELL, APOTHECART OF THAT Regiment —Our correspondent gives us an account of the presentation, on Monday last, of a handsome silver teapot, by the officers of the 78th highlanders, to the apothecary of the corps, in testimony of their approbation of his conduct during the period the regiment was suffering so dreadfully at Sukkur and Hydrabad. Major Twopenny, Drs. Burt, McKinnon, and Bowie, the adjutant, paymaster, quarter-master, and several other officers of the regiment, having assembled in the mess-room, the testimonial was daid on the table. The major called for Mr. Boswell, the apothecary, and having spoken to him on the object of the present meeting, said he had great pleasure in presenting him, at the request of the officers of the corps, with the piece of plate before him, on which was the following inscription: PRESENTED to Mr. ROBERT BOSWELL, Apothecary, By Major TwoPENNY, I and Officers of the 7th Highlanders, miron 1 in Testimony of the high sense they entertain of his arduous exertions and unremitting attention" to the Men, Women, and Children, of the Regt., during a period of unprecedented sickness, at Sukkur and Hydrabad, in "*"b 1811-15. 1 The apothecary returned thanks in a short but neat address to the donors for the very great honour they had conferred on him, and said that it would be his earnest endeavour to continue to merit their good-will by a strict attention to his duties, &c. A precisely similar testimonial is now, we believe, on its way from Poonah for the late steward of the Highlanders the present apothecary of the European General Hospital-accompanied by a letter of presentation from the officers of the corps. Such testimonials are alike honourable to the donors and recipients, and we have reason to know that in the present instances they have been richly merited.-Ibid. SHOCKING MURDER.RUNNING A Muck.-We regret to have to record one of the most frightful instances of murder that has ever come within the scope of our experience. A party of Manilla seacunnies, having got quite drunk, sallied out of a house in the vicinity of Dhoby Tullow, when one of the number, maddened with liquor, and armed with a long knife, commenced running a muck and stabbing every person, without distinction, who had the misfortune to fall in his way. This miscreant succeeded in killing five individuals outright on the spot; among these was a girl of about 12 or 13-a sixth died after removal to the Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy Hospital. We have been given to understand that, besides the number killed, sixteen persons were severely wounded, and are now in hospital; the lives of some, it is supposed, are in a very precarious state. The murderer.was captured, not however until an European constable or two came to effect the measure. The native sepoys, miscalled a police force, kept very prudently out of the way-these gentry, we have observed, are very valorous over a drunken soldier or sailor lying in a totally innocuous state on the roads, but when there is any thing like danger to be apprehended to their precious persons. their valour oozes out of their finger ends, and they make themselves uncommonly scarce. It is a pity that where the public have to pay so much in the shape of taxes, they should not be provided with better guardians. The murderer was accompanied with ten others of his caste, who were taken into custody. We have not heard that any of these men participated in the crime of their principal.-Courier, Nov. 7. ACCOMMODATION OF THE "VICTORIA."-We understand that considerable dissatisfaction has been expressed at the inadequate accommodations of the steamer Victoria, which brought & so large a number of passengers on her late trip from Suez; and if, as we hear, the defect might be remedied without difficulty, and at very small cost to the naval authorities, we certainly think that it will he little to the credit of the latter if the requisite alterations are not forthwith adopted. The public, who pay government so liberally in the shape of passage, money, have a right to expect that their convenience should be in some sort consulted in matters like these.-Ibid., Nov. 12.
