The mailof the 7th June reached Bombay by the steamer Auckland, at noon on the 6th July—28 days 11 hours from London to Bombay—the quickest transit on record. The political news relative to the state of India is sat- isfactory. At Bombay the rains had been remarkable, forty-two inches had already falleu on the 3d ult.; that is more than half the ordinary average, and there were two months of the monsoon yet remaining, Great apprehensions were felt respecting the fate of the Cleopatra steamer, which left Bombay on the 14th of April, bound for Singapore. She encountered the frightful hurricane of the 17th, 18th and 19th of April, an@ had not since been heard of. It seems to be the intention of the Governor-General to reduce the army in India to the extent by which £1,- 000.000 sterling per annum will be saved.

[From the London Chronicle, Sept. 3 ] The Money Market has been buoyant to-day, and prices have undergone some improvement, Consols opened in the morning at 87% to % for the account, and 8744 to % for money, at which quotation they remained until the mildiv of the day, when, on its becoming known that the Bank had decided on a reduction of the rate of interest, they went immediately to 86% buyers for the account. They soon afterwards receded to 88 to 3¢,at whieh price they closed at three o'clock. After business, however, they were ugaia done at 93% buyers for the account, and 87% for money. The other stocks are as follows: the Three per Cents. Reduced; 83; the Three-and-a-quarter per cents , 89% to 34; Bank Stock, 196 to 8; India Stock, 238 to 42; Exchequer bills, 3s. to 68, prem. ‘There is no change in the quotations of foreign secu- rities, the busiess transacted in them during the day having been very limited. The share market is generally firmer, aud some de- scriptions of shares may be said to be better The anticipations which we expressed a few days ago, as to the course which the bank was likely to pursue consequent upon the improved position in which the returns last published showed it to be placed, our read-ra will observe, have been fully realized to day. The bank has reduced the rate of interest on advances to the middle of October from 534 to5 per cent. As regards the existing re- sources of the bank, when viewed independently of other considerations, they aro generally felt to afford to the directors an ample justification for the step which they have thus taxen. ‘I'he general impression in the city appearsto be that which on more than ono ooca- sion we have ventured to express, that as much of the pressure which every now and then weighs upon the money market arises merely from the senacners loss of confidence, the indication of more facile accommodation which is afforded by such a step as that taken by the bank to-day inust obviate to a certain extent the pres- sure, by bringing capital more freely into the market, much of which has been kept back, either from fear or from policy, until the approach of better times, ‘Trade bas been sorely pressed during the last few months, and, even at the sacrifice of heavy discount charges, the obtaining of money even on first rate secu- rities has been next to impossible. ‘Che foundation, however, on which we rest is undergoing a daily im- provement. ‘The harvest, cn which so much connected with the movements of every branch of trade depends, is now placed, as to its safety and abundance, beyond a doubt. ‘The condition of France, too, in this respect is. from a similar cause, equally cheering, and there is, at Joust for some time to come, no reasonable doubt but that food will be both plentiful and cheap. ‘Those whose experience enables them to recollect for years past the fluctuations of the prices of money and corn, will not fail to remember that cheap food and dear money have never for any length of time co-existed; and if the circumstances which affeot the financial question of to-day did not involve the consideration of new inter- ests of importance, there could be no question of a grad- ual decline in the value of money, as applied to loans and discounts. But the new feature which has taken such root in this country and in France, the railway system, depending as it should do on the surplus capital of the country, is accused of fastening itself on the cap- ital in which it had no right to participate; instead ot living, as it were, on the interest of our capital, it has at- tacked the principal. ‘This evil, it will be perbaps con- tended,should have been sufficient to deter the direetors from any reluxation in the rates of accommodation, and the movement announced to-day must be considered as made in that direction, But, from our own observation, we feel sure that the market value of money was on the decline elsewhere than at the Bank of England, and that the demand for accommodation was becoming restricted in a very great degree; and we think, therefore, that the indication which the Bank has afforded, while it involves ne decisive reduction in the price of money sufficient to encourage a return of speculation, will most assuredly bring out the capital which the return of activity io trade cannot fail to demand. The question of the rait- y calls is serious enough, but there is « wide difference between precipitate reduction on the face of adverse circumstances, and the prudent relaxation which in re- ality waits on events about to occur elsewhere. e are glad to be able to state that the drafts of Prime, Ward & Co., of New York, on Overend & Co,, which have remained unaccepted for some days past, are now in order. We are informed that the whole of the drafts were accepted byOverend and Co. late this af- ternoon, Asstated by us on Tuesday, it was expected that the matter would be satisfactorily arranged before the sailing of the packet, and we are happy to find that this has been the oase. ‘The continued irregularity o the drafts for so many days has been the subject of much anxiety, ‘The greatest variation in the chief public securities and principal railway shares within a week occurred in that ending the 7th ult during which period Consols fell from 88% to 86%, @ difference of no less than 17% per cent , and exchequer bills from 10s, prem.,to 5s. prem. In railway shares, Eastern Counties declined from 20 to 19, Great Western from 115 to 109, London and Nerth Wes- tern from 176 to 170, and Midland from 127 to 120. 'To- wards the close of the month prices have improved, but corn, of which we give the official weekly averages from the Gazette, is an exception. The prices of wheat at Mark lane have been considerably under the official quotations, sales having taken place on Monday, the 30th Ult., at from 50s, to 56% per quarter. ‘i ‘The difficulty of obtaining discounts in Manchester, and the pressure on the resources of the banks there, ppear to have led to the employment of drafts of the bankers on their London agents, in certain cases.as sub- stitutes for cash. The fact that such drafts are accept- ed by the manufacturers requiring money, in place of actual cash, shows how extreme the pressure on eom- mercial affairs and the want of banking accommodation must be. Advices from Manchester state that, “ Re- course has again been had by some of our bankers todis- counting the paper for their regular customers in three months’ drafts on London, which bills have been handed over to the spinners and manufacturers instead of cash However legitimate this mode ot payment may be, it has been objected to by some of the merchants here, being rather an exception to the usual system of paying the spinners and manufacturers, who require ready cash for the payment of their work people, which, in our own dis- trict, amounts to something like £100,000 per week, and which must be either procured for them by the pur- chasers of the goods, or the bankers here”? In addition to the failure of Messrs. Kirkpatrick & Co., of Liverpool, which we announced yesterday, we regret to report the suspension of payment by Messrs. H. & G. Gregg, of the same pl Their liabilities are reported to be of large amount.

Morris, ‘The Latest Commercial Review. [From the European Times, Sept. 4] The continued pressure in the mons Y, market, and the numerous fuilures which have occurred in the corn trade. still render it out of our power to announce = improve ment in the general trade of the country. Whilst, how- ever, our manufacturers are contemplating a cessation of their operations, and other branches of industry are exceedingly depressed, the colonial markets, especially for sugar, still exhibit considerable buoyancy, and im- would, no doubt, under more favorable circum- secure higher rates for their produce. Our corn market, since the 19th ult.. has experienced agains serious decline of prices. The top price of the best description of wheat was at that time quoted at about 67s to 636 per quarter, the same quality will not command at this moment mere than 55s, whilst the best American flour in Liverpool barely sells at 268 per bbl. On market day of th. 16th ult. prices in Mark lane fell about 2s per quarter. During the week succeeding, a ful; of 28 or 38 more took place; on the 30th a further decline ot about 5s to 7s was established; andat yesterday ket in Mark lane wheat was in sold at from 29 to 88 per qr. reduction, bringing us down to the present rates, ‘iverpool the fluctuations have not followed the London markets so invariably as hitherto, perhaps for the reason that the depression of prices has been less extensively disastrous her. than in London. Indeed, during the week succeeding the 16th ult. pricesof American flour rallied a shilling or two, but one or two fuilures in the trade occurring, prices again gave way. During this eventful period the weather, with intervals of some in- terruption, has been Ronee for gathering in the har- vest, which, as far as it has proceeded, bids fair to be an average for wheat,and fully an average one for barley and oats. Some endeavors have been made to create an alarm for the failure ef the potato crop, and in this neighborhood we have seen instances of disease; but, comparing all the various accounts which have reached us from Great Britain and Ireland, we are of opinion that however in particular instances partial damage may eventually arise, upon the whole, it bears not the most remote comparison with the destruction of the past year, and in Ireland the abundant cultivation of other esculents renders any partial damage quite of secondary importance. In Indian corn the losses to importers will mous. The price of best Indian corn in Liver- P not higher than 26s. to 32s. per quarter of 480 Ibe. This article has been in extensive demand for feeding cattle, and large quantities, damaged, we know to have been taken for purposes of manure, at prices below the current value of guano, Since the sailing of the Caledonia, the cotton market has been in a very dull and inanimate position, and pri- ces for American descriptions have receded from !<d to 444 perlb. The trade continue to buy sparingly, and this is likely to be their plan for some time to come, un less a decided change for the better takes place. ‘The sales since the 19th ult. are 41,310 bales, of which 2100 American and 460 Surat were taken on speculation; and 3130 American, 200 Pernam, 30 Egyptian, and 150 Surat, by exporters. “The imports of all descriptions during the same period are 64,716 bales. From the tenor of the advices brought by the Hibernia, it would appear that the yield of next season’s crop will be below an average Should this be the case, it will undoubtedly prove a most discouraging circumstance for the manufacturers of this country. American cured provisions are in moderate request.— eb vgs are paid for bacon of fine quality, whilst the inferior descriptions and smoked can hardly find buyers. The supplies of beef are still on a limited scale; prices are, therefore, well supported, but the transactions re- ported are only of a trif_ing character. The better qua- lity of cheese is sought after and is scarce, but that late- ly arrived, finds buyers with much difficulty at 2ls. The transactions in pork are limited, and hams are rather unsaleable. The tobacco markets, both here and in London, have been rather firm during the past month, and stendy prices for American descriptions have been obtained The transactions, however, are upon a more limited scale. and although they may continue 80, it is likely that the value of all descriptions will be maintained, ai least until more favorable accounts are reeeived from the United States. At Liverpool, the stock this year compared with that of 1846, is now 378 hhds, less, while in London it is 1419 hhds greater. Havana sorts have met with a good demand in Londou, and advanced prices are reported to have been paid. In consequence of rumors of potatoe disease—which. by the way, we are disposed to regard with extreme cau tion—rice has met with rather a better demand, and prices during the week ending August 27, en. im- proved; but as the arrivals of breadstuffs, both from America and the continent of Europe, are on a large scale, tre demand both here and in London has rather fallen off during the last few days; prices, however, are, on the whole, steadily maintained. ‘The iron trade has been more steady than almost any other branch of business during the last fortnight; for. aided by the extensive orders on railway account, it has not suffered that depression so general in commercial circles janufactured iron, both beie and in London. continues in good demand, and full prices are paid. A better feeling prevails in our market for salt, and ar there are larger quantities being exported, prices rule witha degree of greater firmness. Since the 19th ult. the following exportations have taken place, viz :—To Baltimore, 951 tons white; Boston, 971 4 do; Miramichi, 10 bags do; New Orle: foundland, 78} do; New York, 23 do; Philadelph Portland, 300 do; Portsmouth, A’S., 400 do; 250 do; and St. Jobn, N. B., 200 do, and 80 to: % Sugar since our last, compared with other articles of produce, has not participated in the general depression A considerable business was transacted during the week succeeding the 16th ult., and British West india met with ready buyers. During the last ten days the market has indeed improved, and brown descriptions of British plantation have advanced about Is., and grocery sorts 6d. tols; and merchants generally are disinclined to further sales unless at a greater advance. The market is altogether firm. The arrivals in London exceed the past year by 31,800 tons, and the stock is heavier by 10,000 tons ; nevertheless, as the home consumption iv reater by 14,500, and for export by 2,600, the prospects for the future, considering the steady consumption now joing on, are satisfactory. ‘The transactions in foreign ugar have been latterly pretty extensive ; floating car- goes of yellow Havana have obtained 24s. to 208 per ewt ; while Bahia 26a; brown 2is. The demand for crushed sugar, refined, in bond, is less, owing to the di minished means of the consumers in the south of Europe. Most of the articles classed under the head of naval stores are in good demand. As the stock of turpentine in this port is chiefly held in one hand, buyers, who have been very cautious in their operations, and only purchased to supply immediate wants, are obliged to y advanced prices. ‘The sales of American rosin have bela made at higher prices.

As to long wool, the staplers are anxious sellers at old prices, and short wool remains without al- teration. A Botte prospect seems to be before the man- ufacturers of woollens in the Huddersfield district. The most recent advices from Leeds state that very few goods are changing hands at the Cloth-halls there At the same time more activity is expected, and prices | remain steady for every description of woollens. The condition of the money market has not undergone improvement since the 19th ult. The succession of failures which we have recorded in our present number has cast distrust throughout the banking and commer- cial community, which only time and a more sottled state of affairs can dissipate, Considerable sensation was created in London on the 26th ult, by the fact that 4 large amount of drafts of Prime, Ward & Co., of New York, on Overend, Gurney & Co,’ had been refused ceptance “ until the arrival of the Hiberais,” and that Messrs. Baring, Brothers & Co. had declined to interfere for their protection.

B ) OD account of their great sonrcity, ure rather higher. What matters of interest have occurred as bearing upon our market, have been external to the Cotton question itself, such as the fail- ures in Loudon, and here also to a smaller extent, con- nected with the Corn trade, and the often repeated dif- fle’ of discount and dear money. Had we not been overlaid by questions of this kind, itean hardly be doubt- od that the firm tone of our holders, founded upon alight stock, would have given prices an upward tendency, ra- ther than the reverse, As it is, our quotations remain very much as before, every thing about us continuing very dull, and the spinners pursui ing a profitiess or losing business, the result of which is likely to drive them tos still more contracted consumption. 1600 American and 300 Surat have been taken on speculation, and 1000 Ame- rican for export, The total sales of the week are 20,710 bales,— George Holt § Co. Anotnen Reront.—The market has been dull jesifey jor the week; for although there has been some demund from exporters, the operations of the trade continue on a limited scale, and prices generally close more in their favor, but without causing any material alteration in last week’s quotations. Speculators have taken 1600 American, and 30) Surat, and exporters 1680 American. The total sales of the week amount to 20,710 bales.— United Brokers, For the week ending Sept, 3d.—There is scatcely a novel circumstance of any kind, as connected with the proceedings of this market, throughout the past woek. The same depressed and drooping state which we have noticed for some weeks past still continues, and from the same causes. In the scale of prices of this day, and of Friday last, we can notice very little, if any. change; indeed, the present lightness of our stock would appear to give security to the existing scale of quota- tions, and any improvement in the manufacturing dis- tricts would be at once sensibly felt amongst us. 500 American and 150 Surat have been taken on speculation, and 1450 American, 150 Surat, 30 Egyptian and 200 Per- nams for Export. Sales for the week, 20,600 bales. — George Holt § Co. Another Report.—The dullness noticed last week still continues to pervade the market, the demand having been almost entirely limited to the necessities of the trade. There is little change in prices; the current qualities of American may, however, be considered !<d per pound lower during the past fortnight. Speculators have taken 300 American and 150 Surat, and exporters 1450 American, 200 Pernams, 30 Egyptians, and 150 Surat.— 360 American have been forwarded into the country un- sold during the past month.

Among the eales we note 2800 Brazil at 4d for dry salted, and 3d for wet sulted A few sales of Rio Grande and River Plate have been made at the quotations. The stock in hand is very small, Iron—Notwithstanding the want of commercial confidence, arising from the numerous failures in the corn trade, the difficulty in obtaining discounts at u moderate rate on bills of the first character, and the di miniehed consumption arising from partial suspension of employment in the manufacturing districts, the iron trade continues steady, and all those engaged in it pro- fitably employed. Tite principal source of this continued employment is in the requirements of the numerous railways in course of construction throughout Great Britain and Ireland, not only for rails, but for stations, engines, wagons, carriages, repairs, and » variety of pur- poses, for all of which iron is the principal material re- quired. This demand will continue for some length of time, and until its cessation no material reduction in the price can be reasonably expected. Judging by past experience, low prices of provisions result sooner or later in manufacturing activity and cheapness of mo- ney; but what effect the free trade measures recently carried out may immediately produce, remains to be iscovered; but that the ultimate result, not only to thie but to all other nations, will be highly beneficial, we en- tertain no doubt. The demand for manufactured iron continues very good, and the quantity exported has been above the average; the turnout of the workmen in Scotland continues, and trom 30 to 40 furnaces in that distriet are atill out of blast; but owing to the difficulties in the money market, there is no speculative demand. but rather @ disposition to realize, although the stock in hand is inconsiderable ‘The following are the present quotations in Liverpool :—No. 1, Scotch Pig, £428 6d; merchant bar, £9 74 6d; best roiled, £10 108; j sheet, £11 158; nail’ rod, £10 e demand for turpentine is steady; 650 bols. sold at 92, and 1100 to 1200 at 83 4d to 8s 6d per owt, which is above our last quotations.

Metals—The iron market has been rather depressed during the last eight or ten days, the baa of money and the late heavy faitures causing buyers to operate only for actual orders. and tho limited business done has been at prices in favor of the buyers, Symptoms of an improvement begin to manifest themselves. Welsh bars, however, continue in good request, and a fair extent of business has been done at firm prices. Railway bars are also in good demand, and fetch as much money ason this day week. Scotch pigs are now 69a, cash. fur No. 1, and 67s 6d for mixed numbers; Welch bars £3 10a to £8 15s, and rail, £8 10s Spelter continues to give way in price. and although there are sellers at 10s under those of this day week, yet we hear of no business beingdone. On the spot purchases can be made at £19, and for arrival at 24 Gd to Sa under this price. Steel and lead continue in limited demand, and purchases might be made at a trifle under our quotations, if buyers were to come forward. British tin has been in fair request for consumption at lower prices. Foreign continues dull of sale, at late rates. There are buyers to a fair extent at 828 to 828 6d fur Straits, and 843 to 88 for Banca, but holders are not disposed to accept these prices. Copper being only in small supply, com- mands a steady sale at full prices, Naval’ Stores. During the week ending Aug. 26, @ few small sales of rough turpentine were made to the distillers at 88 94 to 98 per owt. An inquiry continues to exist for spirits, and prices further improved slightly, English drawn were in steady demand for consumption, at 40s; and business was done in American at 41s to 42s per ‘owt, casks included; but the largest holders were not free sellers at the prices noted. In the course of the subse- quent week, that ending Sept. 3. there wasa very small uantity of rough offering in the market, and holders lemand 8s 9d to 9s per owt. Spirits were firm at the late advance, and the trade have been buyers at 40s for English drawn; American are in good demand, and business done at 418 to 41s 6d for fine, casks included; holders are, however, unwilling to sell largely at these prices, and the principal one is asking 443 per cwt.

Bomnay, July 19.—Since our last monthly report, on the 19th of June, the amount of business transacted has been trifling, which is the natural consequence of the seaxon, but we are happy to state that the progress of the monsoon has been as favorable as can be desired throughout the agricultural districts generully. as far as the accounts have reached us, and thus the prospects are encouraging for a healthy trade in the spproching active season. The sales which have taken place in cot- ton manufactured goods during the month are consider- able, We may shortly, howevcr, except to seo local deal- ere show some activity in laying in stocks for the open- ing ef the season after the rains. and we may add that already there is some inquiry for stout grey oloth of domestic make, suited for dyeing for the Arabian mark- et, but the prices offered have not yet come up to the expectations of holders, who are encouraged to be firm by the prospects held out by the favorable fall of rain, and by the curtailed supplies of goods from Great Briv- ain. Exports—Cotton Wool—In thisataple transactions have been limited in consequence of the scarcity of ton- nage and high rates of freight. ‘The purchases consists of about 1500 bales of broach at 90r to 91r; 1200 bales Dhollera at84r to 843¢r; 500 bales Compta, at 75r; and a smallquantity of Oomramutty at 86r per candy. Cochi- neal—At the close of last month a demand arose for this article for China, and sales were effected to the extent of 30701b silver, at 4r 934a per lb, and 12001b at dr 14a per 1b; and we understand that some transactions took place in the bazaaras high as r 2a per ib. We quote or ns the present price for silver, and 4}gr for binck Of the former there is little or none at market Importe— British Cotton Piece Geods.—Some slight symptoms of improvement are beginning to manifest themeclves in the inquiry for goods under this head, but vot to the extent which might naturally have been looked for at this season; still the sales reported in grey shirtings con- tinue to a fair extent, confined principally (as wo have had occasion to notice for some time) to the lower de- scriptions of 39-inch goods, and the same may he said of bleached shirtings; grey and white madapoliams. jacco- nets, &e. Colored and printed goods have continued in moderate demand, and sales to some extent aro report- e1, but at very low rates, 2r 3a to 3r 2a being about the figure obtainable. Woollens continue difficult of axle, and any that have been moved off have been by auction for local consumption, there being apparently no demand for up country at present. In mule twist importers con- tinue reasy sellers, and considerable quantities have been placed at, for some counts, a slight redaction in for- mer rates In colored yarns. within the last few days, there has been little, if anything doing, and prices remain nominal; the same may se sald of ‘Turkey red cloths, which bave not been so much enquired after. Cotton Yarn.—-A sale of gray yarn was effected a few days back to the extent of 64 bales of mule of 3001b each, at the following prices:—No. 30, at 744; No. 40. at 7%; No. 50, at 934 annas per 1b.

Cavcutta, July 8 —Exports.—Indigo —Our advices from the indig» districtasince the date of our last report, contain nothing to induce us to alter the opinion then expressed, that alarger crop than an average one could not be anticipated, although the favorable weather expe- rienced in Calcutta had extended to most parts of the interior. Our market being nearly cleared of last sea- son's produce, we have but few transactions to report. A purchase of 1700 maunds of up-country indigo has owen made for the English market at 105 Company’s ru- pees per factory maund. Sugar—The comparatively low rates at which the finer sorts of Benares have been procurable, caused rome buyers to come forward, and a few purchases were made at our former quotations, say 8-12 to 9-4, but since the receipt of the last intelligence, the market has been quiet; nor do we see any prospect of activity until the native holders submit to @ ceneide- tuble decline on the prices they are now asking. Rice — There has been a brisk demand for all dercriptions of rice since the arrival of the last mail. and a light ad- vanoe in price has taken place, which will in all probabil. iy be maintained, as it is reported that a large amount of tonnage expected in the course of next month has been taken up for the conveyance of the atapl- to the Euro- pau markets, Exports in all June wero 77.686 maunds. Raw Silk—Notwithetanding che unfavorable state of the homs market for this staple, purchases continue to be made to a moderate extent, the low prices now ruling here apparently holding out an inducement to operate for the Evglish market. Cossimbazar has beon placed at 7r. 8a to7r 124, Beauleah at 6r to 6r. 12a per fac- tory seer ; Radnagore and Hurripaul have alto found purchasers at 6r 8a to Sr. per bazaar seer. Exports in all June were to Great Britain, 933 maunds. Imports— British Cotton Piece Goods—We have sgain to report « quiet market for nearly all description of goods under this head, the sales of the month being principally con- fined to the demand for local consumption, the demand for the up country marts generally felt at this season of the year not having yet taken place, the greater amount of sales reported have been in low gray hirtiogs, which continue inquired after, being light in stock; the better sorts can only be pussed off by importers submitting to @ dveline on the low prices ruling previously, which in some instances have been dene, and considerable paroela tave found buyers ‘I'he low descriptions of bleached shirtings have also been sold to some extent. bur the fin r sorte cannot be pliced except at a considerable sacrifice, Grey Madapailame of low qualities are sule- able, but better sorts are neglected; whites are also diff. cuit of sale, Low grey jaconets have met with a rendy sole. in some instances @ slight advance on former rates, but in these, as in nearly all cloth, the finer sorts have been neglected, and are difficult of sale unless at # sacri- fice ; there is a slight inquiry for the finer threeds of bleached, the stock of which sort is light. Colored and Printed Goods—There continues to be a slight demand experienced for these goods, but the prices obtained aro very low. ‘The sorts principally inquired for are low Bengal stripes, which have been placed to a considerable extent at, for common, 2r 8a per piece, and for better sorts 3r, for which there is @ fair inquiry, Most other deseriptions are neglected, and can only be forced off b; + heavy eacrifico being submitted to ‘Turkey red cl both piain and printed, meet with a ready sale at rem Woollens—Our market for these good ally dull at this season of the year, which ed on as the briskest, and sales can only Mected by importers submitting to & discount of 10 25 per cent on invoice.
